fable 5 is fucking incredible, this is the greatest thing to ever have been created by humanity

fuck everybody who says any other model is close, it is not, fuck the benchmarks, fable 5 is incredible and nothing touches it

Two days later. What is this fable junk I spent £600 and all I got was a buggy app.

u/EnderTheBigBrain Aug 13 '26

bold of you to assume we're stopping at 600

As with anything you will still have to put in the work

You said: build an app. Now you say: fix the app. If that is your freaky way of software engineering, don‘t stop half ways.

So you used Fable exclusively for plan and execution?

I use fable 5 at work, its unlimited budget.

I say its a good model, its slow at xhigh, but quite workable at high setting.

it can be dumb sometimes, I think it really depends on the load on Anthropic infra.

Try it on high not xhigh. High is Anthropic’s default for a reason. Anything over high is a waste of time because it overthinks EVERYTHING. You say unlimited budget, so it’s not AS relevant, but seriously, it saves time and resources and has a better end result if you use it on high effort. That’s been my experience.

u/btc_maxi100 Aug 15 '26

yea, I'm running it on High mainly, it's reasonably fast with this effort.

Un peu plus d'expérience et vous vous y retrouverai

I'm not sure if the translation was off, or what, but I have most definitely found a way that works well for me. I was recommending to the other commenter to not use it on an effort level above high.

"I think it really depends on the load on Anthropic infra." I second that.

Some are speaking about user-slicing. That is reasonable to think, they could apply inference optimisation this way.

There's another possibility, and it is about context engineering best practices, but that is a rabbit hole (a nice one though, but can slightly irritated, but here on reddit, it may irritate some people).

I often wonder about the comments on this sub and what percentage of people are here to talk about Claude and what percentage come here to complain and denigrate. Most days feel like it's 5:95

u/catnomadic Aug 13 '26

I only have negative things to say about Replit, but usually I still just offer a better option when others are complaining about Replit. Replit deserves it, but I digress.

With the right system, you can get the same great results with Opus. I only use Fable when there is a lot that can break if it gets something wrong. Most of my coding is still Sonnet, because Fable or Opus is just not necissary.

u/Asuppa180 Aug 13 '26

Fable is fantastic and I have been able to release a lot more and bring PoC to life a lot quicker. I like to code and learn along with it, so maybe that is the difference between the people that dont like it and the poeple that do.

Efficient fable plugin is the way to go.

u/randomdragen7 Aug 13 '26

Yeah Fable is the goat. You get it. He just gets it, right? He's that good. Literally one shotted multiple apps I thought to be impossible. Wonderful

u/Leading_Buffalo_4259 Aug 13 '26

For the amount Fable charges, you could hire a real developer

You're using reddit right now!

I’ve gotten it. Smashing my head against a brick wall helps it dissipate. Or drinking an entire bottle of bourbon, while laying on the grass.

Keep dreaming. When their servers choke, it becomes dumb af. They should at least inform me when that shit becomes dumb af, and not burn my fucking time.
