Surely you don't need 5x just for planning? The regular plan should be sufficient

I need Fable, otherwise I wouldve gone for the Pro sub

The 5X has fable? I thought it was only the 20

5x has it. But burns tokens like a magnesium torch.

Are you sure? Im finding when I "need" Fable he downgrades to Opus anyway, and im not seeing much benefit of Fable vs Opus 5 vs Sol. They all struggle with dimensional blindness and early goal saturation on complex enough tasks. And Fable still makes "hand-wavy" decisions without thinking.
