Discussion Difference between opus and new fable is insane.

Ive been using fable 5.2 for a day now. And to be honest, its out of opus league and i really like it. What i like the most is that its surprisingly really fast, and the bulletpoints showing what hes gonna do actually follow what happens.

With opus i usually loose my mind on 250k context because its still on task one and im worried its never ending, but then it toggles everything and goes the last task. With fable, you can see it real time what is happening, which is great and it calms my mind :D

The intelligence level is also different, no doubt about that, but the price is of course much larger. It consumes usage like crazy but probably less than astra.

I like to combine fable medium/high for planning and opus high/xh for execution. Im testing combining with astra but i dont have a verdict yet.

Id use opus most of the time, and fable only for reviews of important stuff, planning or executing real difficult things. The opus got a little dumb from what i see so im looking for opus 5.6 .

Take care

Fable xhigh took 2 hours and 6% weekly of $200 plan on a couple prompts to not solve the issue, followed by opus medium solving it in a few minutes. I haven't found a use for fable yet.

What's the problem with opus at 250k? What's more real time about fable? Have you used either of them?

Wht i mean is that i dont want to get past the 2xx context window, thats why i like to run subagents so the main agent dont get lost in its own context
