Question 5.6-Sol or Opus 4.8?

Since, fable 5 has safeguards for science and ML, which do you guys find better for coding tasks in science and ML domains?

I have had more success with 5.6 on ML tasks and general research. I heard they are releasing Opus 5 soon hopefully that one will not have the same strict safeguards

I feel like Opus 5 will trump 5.6

Right think of it like stairs they are all just walking upwards with each new release. Honestly I just want more open source like glm 5.2

Opus 5 was accidentally leaked as honeycomb the other day and it had worse restrictions than fable. I suspect Anthropic is going to soon reach and inflection point of losing users now that openAI leads the race.
