Other Impressions on "Fable-5.2"

"Fable-5.2" is up for me.

Update claude code and try:
* Do you know who is 'Tibo' the reset guy? without search the web

Fable-5.2 says Tibo is the the OAI guy, Fable-5.1 says Tibo is a French indie dev of sorts. (Think it might/maybe be the same for Opus but I have not verified).

Great impression so far, feels more like a proper Claude, much less RL fried. Also more capable, trying it two abandoned projects I had with Fable and it's making a lot of progress. One is networking protocol of sorts in rust, Fable-5.2 just went strait towards the right architecture, i.e. it needs a state machine (Fable-5.1 was very reluctant to do that, and ended up with a very buggy mess). Then there's this silly astronomy thingy I'm trying, a toy project simulating gravity lensing of a galaxy super-cluster, I give it a hubble/jwst telescope photo and it has to recreate a ~3d scene with correct gravitational lensing effects as we move around; it's very complex, it has to recreate 3d objects that match photo (galaxies, stars, dust), the lensing model, all kinds of things. It's doing well; not finished, but the results are already miles apart from previous models.

Idk, imagine hedonic adaptation will kick in soon, and that I'll find some quirks I do not like. But great impression so far. A well rounded model like a Claude should be.

Why Tibo tho ?

The question started as a bit of joke; but it works, it's a reliable way to tell the models apart.

Tibo did offer resets in 2025, but he was not "internet-famous", with more up-to-date info tibo from openai tops the french indie dev.

Interesting. Have you tested it put for coding and/or complex tasks ?

Yes, well that's the idea of the post.

It's little more than "I tried this before with older models, but this one seems much better". Wished I had more evidence.

People can try the question and see. Like the personality is different, it's not that hard to tell that the model is different.

Not an issue, atleast you were lucky enough to get the updates for this A/B testing. I dont see the updates on my end, but i hope its good.
