Is it me, or is Fable 5 enormously better at analyzing and developing architecture for software making? I mean, I don’t really notice the difference in coding in comparison to what Opus 4.8 at Max effort can achieve; on the contrary, I see a lot of difference in analytical and creative tasks such as developing architectures. The best workflow for me, in terms of prompting, is switching models to cost-average token spending.

  • I start with Fable 5, develop a plan.
  • Then switch to Opus for coding.
  • Then switch back to Fable 5 to re-factor or audit.
  • Go back to Opus to code, and so forth. Does t make sense to proceed like that? submitted by /u/Ok_Sheepherder_5552
