I have Fable plan and Opus implement. I haven't had any major issues working this way; however, Opus does seem plain fucking stupid compared to what I experienced with Sonnet previously.

I do the same, and generally have good results, but it does stupid things with gusto. I'd open a blog with "weird things Opus did". Today it launched a swarm of cpu-hogging processes to test if the widget showing machine and I/O load is rendering nicely and correctly. The test went fine, but it was no longer able to kill those processes since they were really effectively hogging the CPU in various ways - being diligent, some of them were hogging CPU, some were murdering the SSD, some were pounding on the network adapters. Took me 30 mins to recover the machine to a working state without killing the meaningful, messy, in-flight sessions i had going on on other projects.

> however, Opus does seem plain fucking stupid Infuriatingly so, in a way I don't remember Opus 4.8 being, but maybe I've just been ruined by Fable 5.

  I bought my first LLM subscription with Claude right before they gave access to Fable 5. I got so used to it, when they finally pulled access for me and I had to go back to Opus I felt like I was working with my hands tied. I finally know what those women with AI boyfriends felt like when their app updated and it won't dirty talk with them anymore.

  Fable has spoiled us all.

    Not so sure, I'm sure Opus 5 is just shit.

      Eh it's better than 4.8 in terms of what it can get done on a good day, it's just far more taxing to get it there. Like the Fable ban stunt, I wouldn't put it pass Anthropic to kneecap Opus deliberately to drive more people to their more expensive option.

    Whether this is true or not has been keeping me up at night the past week. Daily driving Fable is legit superpowers. Running out of usage and trying to work with literally any other model and everything breaks down because they can’t keep up without constantly tripping and derailing everything, meaning I’m working full time to babysit every judgement call they make instead of flying like a rocket.

      Yeah, tell me about it. Anything else feels like what going to a local coding model used to feel like. Granted it still fucked up on occasion, but like maybe twice a week, not literally every other turn.
