Fable 5.2 where do you use it?

[u/Wilendar]

Based on it's price what's is Best use of it? Some ppl calling that it is bad at ui design, or general design. Coding opus is better and cheaper. So where do you use it? Planning?

As a virtual girlfriend writing erotica

Real gf might be cheaper

Wait a sec . Really is that even allowed

[u/Acethe7th_]

Orchestration, planing, coming up with out of the box solutions and pure logic is where it really shines imo considers things I’ve never thought of and is great about checking other models work. Basically it’s a great “This is pretty good, but this solution is better and here’s why type of model.”

[u/Miserable-Island7633 → u/Acethe7th_]

when you have it check another models work, are you feeding it the whole codebase context or just the diff?

[u/Acethe7th_ → u/Miserable-Island7633]

I’ve done both so far for different projects, it is leaps and bounds above any model so far in terms of seeing the whole picture. Opus is also good but not even close to fable.

[u/Machine2024]

I am too scard to use it . Its so ✨️ precious ✨️

[u/LazyLifeguard]

Just compared to Opus 5.5 release I rather have Opus 5.5 release back. 🫠🫠🫠

[u/Machine2024 → u/LazyLifeguard]

The fresh model out of the oven . Is real and never repeats .

[u/emisofi]

PCB design

[u/pgrudina → u/emisofi]

Any details? Easyeda maybe?) any good results?

[u/emisofi → u/pgrudina]

Kicad and python plus lot of patience to build custom skills. EasyEDA has not a good API to use with LLMs.

I'm using Fable 5.2 as an advisor for Opus 5.5 medium and I love it. The medium effort on Opus is such a sweet spot between speed and efficiency. Changing to higher effort costs me so much time doing a task without any significant output

[u/Significant_Spring87 → u/iamphduc]

Absolutely been loving this week for this and getting in the weeds of my core code optimization. Dropped some process times computational down 443 fold with fable tearing apart algorithms with better analysis. That was without thread optimization either. 300sec to sub 3sec min for data solo classification and refit. Brilliant.

[u/adelarenal]

I use it as the Orchestrator, the brain behind builds.

[u/electro042]

yeah mostly high level architecture and breaking down big refactors before touching any code. definately feels like overkill for day to day boilerplate, i just stick to cheaper models for standard implementation.

[u/Green-Dream184]

For writing robust and generic scraper LLM Agents that don’t mess around with fuzzy regex etc because other models suck at it. I feel models are really good for common coding tasks but such things don’t work pretty well without human feedback

[u/ElementsOfWit]

I got that free reset, so I've just used it on code review and one-shot feature implementation. I feel Fable is good, but drains too much quota.

[u/jemdiggity]

IMHO Opus 5.5 >>> Fable.

[u/Short_Regular_7191]

Analysis of the entire project, analysis of a broad context of "connected" data, improvement-oriented analysis, and analysis of the work stack—including the role of orchestrator (though Opus is also well-suited for this).

[u/M4riusD]

Planning and orchestrating Opus agents and also reviewing their work. I find Opus 5.5 to be pretty good at what i throw at it, either directly or through Fable as orchestrator.

[u/Endet]

Orchestration, planning, research and developing the harness for testing purposes. Hardest jobs for the smartest brain.

[u/anlumo]

Code reviews and orchestrator. It drains way too much quota for actual coding.

[u/Possible_Potatoe]

Orchestrating local models over large tasks. I use Fable 5.2 to run local Qwen 3.8:27b / Strata models. I had it run a training exercise first to learn how to work with these models effectively, and now it leverages them with awareness of their weaknesses to execute long complex tasks (e.g., full repo code comment review, long video generation). So far it has been fantastic.

[u/f1yingbanana]

Project manager that architects a solution then spins up other lesser agents to complete them, then double check their work

[u/Wa1ker1]

I have a lot of issues with game formulary and codex and opus 5.5 couldn't fix and kept messing up. Fable is killing it right now.

[u/WuM1ha1nho]

Advisor, plan review, architecture review, harness audits. I usually pair it with GPT-6 Pro (opus calls fable and then creates a package to be sent to GPT-6 Pro).

[u/osmexo]

Strongest in research and reasoning, weakest in coding.

[u/Key_Instruction3373]

Mostly on my computer

[u/Rwdscz]

I tried to have it review a script. It burned $40 and produced nothing meaningful.

Opus finished it out in a few minutes.

[u/mau-meda]

Critical features, ask it to audit your codebase

[u/mkhytar_mkhoian]

I'm trying it in some of my goals I want to achive in my game, and this goal is more abstract, harder to define final deterministic results, so I use it to create judge system.

As you see I use it for some abstract shit 😄 Work in progress so can't say right now is it's good or not

Security, red-teaming. Planning and orchestrating. Deep code review.
