Does low/medium effort fix it for you? Seems like Fable 5 low can outperform Opus 4.8 high/xhigh often, and uses a lot fewer tokens
Fable 5 on medium is amazing. It's handling everything I throw at it
I had _one_ instance where for some obscure reason it decided to fall back to Opus 4.8 and Opus IMMEDIATELY fucked it up and implemented a super obvious feature in a slightly-wrong way.
In my case no, I actually saw worse performance with fable medium and switched back to opus high and xhigh
I find high+ unusable, it's way too slow and "thorough" on 99% of mundane task.
Sure it's better at vibecoding whole tasks, it's clearly good at it, but give it a simple one, and it will still do way more than needed.
It's way too fixated on validating even the simplest things, I find it an unproductive model unless you're implementing whole tasks and doing other things in the meantime.
