so my conclusion is the internet is once again ai pilled with Fable despite most not understanding the differences between it and any other SOTA i dont understand this culture around proclaiming absurd things. if you want to sound smart, do the work to actually understand why something is and isnt good, and have an honest opinion. no one needs your opinion otherwise.

it can be a good model and also be too expensive or slow to be practical and also not be that much better than existing models _all at the same time_ it can be good at one thing that we are impressed with and completely awful at many other things and thats also ok! the world isnt black and white

I mean, the models haven’t been the bottleneck for a while now. I’ve enjoyed playing with Fable as a coordinator. Doesn’t feel like a huge leap to me, as Opus 4.6 and on did a nice job of understanding intent as well. It just takes some time for useful distinctions to come out, can’t trust anyone making big claims in the first couple of days with these things I guess.
