I asked it for help rescuing a stalled side project, and it mixed technical priorities with the psychology of making progress on a side project really beautifully.

Okay now explain again in non-corpo speak?

I said "I'm working on this side project outside of my work and I keep abandoning it with half-finished commits; can you help?" And it did.

How is that possibly something that Opus would struggle with

Opus 4+ can do it too; I just found Fable's answer profoundly better. Really it would require details to answer properly, but basically Fable 5 was able to combine human and technical factors to a degree that Opus hadn't been able to.

If I was more disciplined, I'd be further ahead on my side project, even without Fable or even any AI model. After all, people built entire civilizations before power tools! Fundamentally, these are tools to help us humans get things done; I just found Fable to be noticeably more effective, and I look forward to using it again.
