alt Hacker NewsFable is just way too expensive and limited compared to GPT 5.6 Sol, and the only task that requires that level of intelligence is frontier scientific research. I use GPT/Codex primarily for coding and usually keep Claude on Sonnet 5 most of the time as I use Claude primarily to debug/brainstorm/make frontends as a supplement to GPT.

I thought Sol was on par with Opus, so comparing it to Fable is apples and (very expensive) oranges?

I do not agree. Fable is the only model I can leave unattended and give me results for part of my work which is just devops related tasking.
I can hand hold opus but I would rather just ask fable to do it and give me the result that I review and works. Opus will waste tokens and still require me to help nudge it in the right directions.
I think the next gen models from china will put us in a spot that the cost can plummet and I won’t need the Sota from anthropic
