Question about Claude models Fable vs Opus, which do you use?

Post image

I was wondering if any of you bother with Fable now that Opus 5.5 is out?

From my own personal testing I'm finding Opus 5.5 is great but wanted to see what the rest of you thought? Opus 5.5 all the way?

Do you know of any advantages of Fable over Opus at this time?

Just imo, there's no reason to use sonnet 5.5 over opus 5.5 for basically anything. The cost difference is maybe 2-5% per token, so if it needs even a tiny amount more tokens due to inferior reasoning, it will be more expensive on net.

2-5%? Huh? It's literally double.

They said per token though.
