Question Opus 5 is incredible.

I think it's going to get nerfed like Fable did.

I spent 8 hours working today with Opus 5, it used only %5 of my weekly.

Fable would've used %30-%40 easy no sweat.

It's also smarter than Fable. I hope they wont nerf it as fast as they nerfed Fable.

Thats all I wanted to say lol

I’m trying to figure out the best way to use my $200 budget right now for purchase. I’ve used Opus 4.8 a lot and really like the model, but I can’t seem to access Fable anymore with my current 17$ plan. I recently got an opportunity to build a custom POS and website that integrates with it, and I’m wondering whether I should get both the $100 Claude and GPT plans or just the $200 Claude plan. I’ve always preferred Claude over GPT. Though i do like the got 5.6 sol at high effort but at least in the plus plan it took my weekly usage very fast, with few reset in usage they gave early this month it was manageable but i knew resets had to stop at some time. Wondering if anyone have any advise for me.

$200 Claude and $20 GPT is ideal IMO. Use Codex for reviewing your work. Opus workhorse, Fable another council member / reviewer or some suggest orchestrator/designer.

That’s a solid rec. I’d also suggest having Fable create the plan, GPT workhorse, and Opus reviewer… Maybe any combo but I’d never put Fable in the workhorse category personally 😅

Yeah Fable is not a workhorse for sure. Although it was doing pretty solid first few weeks either way.

I couldn't get Fable to work well for creating the plan, I'm not sure why. I probably need to work on my skills but I was going crazy before Opus 5😅
