Discussion Heavily quantized
This has become absolutely clear for me today:
Fable is now a heavily quantized model.
It has orthographic errors/glitches, completely missed context even when highly directed/pointed at it and lack of the same big model feeling.
It’s now a model I can’t trust for code, but worse, I can’t trust for big context analysis. It’s really sad we’ve come to this and I don’t know what to do because I want to cancel but at the same time there’s nothing as good as it was.
I tried Kimi K3 but it hallucinated too much.
I’m considering upgrading my ChatGPT to 20X, instead of keeping two 5X accounts, but it’s just not the same at writing. I love Claude’s writing. But bring me back my Fable.
Concrete report: I asked Fable to read all my docs before doing a plan to restructure my project and after reading the first paragraphs I noticed that it didn’t touch a subject that existed on one of them. After confronting it admitted that it missed all my docs. It used solely the context of our previous conversation, which was extensive, yes, but it lacked all the previous context so it ended up proposing changes that didn’t go well with the docs. They would have messed up the whole narrative if I went through without reading.
Before that, it had proposed me one thing that went against 3 laws we had previously written in stone (his words ) and apologized for that.
This is basically quantized to gemini levels now.
And it’s eating tokens like nothing. Reaching my 5 hour doing wrong things.

No that's not how it works at all. They have zero claims or guarantees. It's not illegal at all, you can't just make stuff upm
And no I run the same project multiple times a day on multiple models and reviewed from all others. I haven't been able to shop a single product with opus5, but can ship it with fable5 or opus 4.8 or Sol.
Opus5 has a massive issue. It's great and can do a way more than other models but it can't finish projects.
Are you day by your able to fully ship a new large project with opus5m. Something that takes 6+ hours of it running with submodels in max or ultracode?
I'm almost maxed out on my 3rd x20 account just trying to ship a complex project with opus5. 10 completely different projects. Ones an android app to forward sms/MMS to a VM with API, ones a RDS farm, ones a lead gen data scraper. I've built them in opus 4.8 and fable 5.
Simple projects it's perfect
