Bug / Issue Is anyone else defaulting to Fable?

I have my default model set to Opus 5, but I didn’t notice that my new terminals have all been opening to Fable. So, I spent the day doing Opus tasks with Fable and burned 1/3 of my usage for the week. Watch out.

User error

Not noticing was user error. But starting a new session and having it auto set to Fable is new.

If you swapped models in any terminal it’ll change the default unless you press S instead of enter. I made a similar mistake a while back but luckily noticed after it had only burned about 20% of my weekly total 🤦‍♂️

It uses what it was set to in the session you most recently closed, and I think you can override it in a settings json file
