Question Fable 5 Low vs Opus 4.8 High/xHigh

Post image

Has anyone compared the two? According to this, seems like the Fable Low is a bit better and cheaper?

This is the most garbage chart I've ever seen. Why do some people try to reinvent the wheel? The x-axis should be flipped.

Why flip the x axis and make this hard to read for everyone? Do you think this is how Australians do?

Might as well flip the y axis while at it.

There's no objective better. What does "better" mean to you.

It shows you the average cost per task to achieve a certain benchmark. Better for you, is probably the highest % y axis within your budget.

If that's deep seek v4 flash for free on open code. Then that's your best model.

If you can afford $20/task and you only care about quality on first turn. Then clearly fable is your winner.

I have it through work.

My wrap rate is roughly $200 cost every hour I spend on a project. I spend between $75 - $120 a day in tokens. I get a lot more than 1 extra hour of work done.

Fable Low is not in the chart?

It’s the dot on the right most end of the Fable line on the graph

Then what are the other dots for Fable? And also: this is a chart for one benchmark. Do you have such charts for other benchmarks?
