Yeah, I’m not convinced that there are any models as smart as Fable. Opus 5 definitely isn’t for all it has great benchmark scores. Fable displays judgement in a way I haven’t seen from any other model.
Yeah as models get better, valid benchmarks become more "trust me bro".
Any models available to us that is...
My experience with Fable is that it eats all my tokens and returns something I didn't ask for.
I realise this might be a skill issue.
I prefer models that are less "smart" but faster. Do the thing I asked you to do, immediately, and if you can't tell me and we'll work it through. Iterate faster not smarter.
