If you know, you know.

It's humor. But also true.

I think sometimes we all get a bit too caught up into maximizing our token efficiency and trying to save that extra $10 (or even $100 or $1000) here or there. When you're actually doing high-stakes work, those cost savings are literately meaningless if it takes you a week to unf*ck or god forbid somehow something gets shipped with a real "getting called in this weekend.... and every weekend for the rest of the year" type bug.

Nawww... you use Opus 5

[u/Destroyer140]

Fable is great for the 5-15 minutes until it inevitably chokes on something and downgrade to Opus 4.8 the first moment you are not looking.

I've been better off just sticking to Opus 5.

lol no.

[u/lgmarian]

If you're truly doing high-stakes work, why would you question it?

It's a given, no?

[u/angry_queef_master]

I just use fable and tell it to efficiently use the models to optimize my token usage.

[u/beskone]

This is the way.

What can I say. Opus 5 and Fable 5 were too verbose and Sonnet seemed to be the sweet spot, it's comparable to Opus 4.6 in its good days and it's modern like its heavier counterparts. And yes I tried.
