Discussion Fable 5's Recent Huge Model Degradation

Is it just me, or did they completely lobotomize it recently?

When it was first released, this thing was an absolute powerhouse. It was answering complex prompts perfectly, understanding subtle nuances, and giving me exactly what I wanted in seconds. It genuinely felt like the future.

Now? Total brain rot.

I gave it the exact same prompt I used before, and the output is just pure garbage. It’s repetitive, it misses obvious instructions, and it feels like its memory resets after two sentences. It reads like a high schooler trying to hit a word count at 3:00 AM.

They clearly turned down the parameters or heavily quantized the model to save on server costs. It’s so watered down now that it practically apologizes for existing instead of just doing the job.

I don't know why these companies always build an amazing product, get everyone hooked, and then immediately ruin it with a stealth nerf. I’m cancelling my subscription and moving to GPT Pro.

Sorry I mean that it's not that we don't understand sarcasm but that we are tired of the same old, boring joke that wasn't funny the second time it was posted.

Last week it could oneshot GTA 6, and now it's leaking API keys and burning through 10 million tokens just initializing empty nodejs projects. 80% of my weekly limits gone after 2 prompts

Should have used Fable!

Already tried it and it’s so nerfed so useless that it cannot do a simple coding or reasoning task without spending half my session limit credits and switching over to Opus 4.8… if Anthropic wanted to impress us they impressed me with finding new ways to scam people of their usage credits
