I don’t know if I’m in the minority here, or if something changed with the second release of Fable, but I really haven’t had a great time working with that model. I’ll use it sometimes when I need an analysis of tons of different data points and pieces of context, but after the research is over… I’m out. It has definitely been impressive at “connecting dots” that Opus might miss and that’s a real plus. But when it comes to actually scoping and doing the work, I don’t enjoy it. Fable seems to make up it’s own mind and do what it wants, taking action without consulting me, skipping over requirements I explicitly provided, etc. Maybe Opus isn’t as “smart” but I am infinitely more productive working with Opus, even when I start from scratch with a brainstorm and go through to execution. Maybe it’s a prompt thing? Fable seems to ignore my CLAUDE.md and skills and do it’s own thing. Opus is hardly “obedient” but it does a better job following along.
