Comment on Why I prefer Opus 5 to Fable 5

Comments

I probably haven't adjusted things well enough to make the most of Opus 5, but yes, I did provide a lot of information in advance with Fable 5 probably mostly because I was concerned about resource constraints. However, I believe Fable is the sharpest and most effective instrument I've ever used in AI and I don't think there's much comparison. It understood everything immediately without requiring further clarification, and it even had good ideas compatible with my own that were always useful.

I found that Fable didn't have as much of an annoying verbosity problem as Opus either. Anything it did say was genuinely relevant and without filler.

I think the coolest thing an AI has ever said to me was, “Do you want me to just work on this quietly and tell you when I’m done?” I said yes to that and saw nothing but tool calls and then a wrap up. (Edit because I forgot to add that this was Fable)
