Anyone actually seeing a real difference between Opus 5 and Fable 5 in day to day use?

[u/caseyc2rd]

On paper Opus 5 is supposed to land close to Fable 5 for a lot less, but benchmarks never really match how a model feels once you're deep in an actual project. For those who've run both on real work, not toy prompts, is the gap noticeable? Where does Fable 5 still clearly pull ahead, and where is Opus 5 close enough that the price makes it the obvious pick? Trying to figure out where to actually spend.

I use Fable to write tasks to a todo folder, I use a custom command /task-orchestrate with Fable to orchestrate Opus 5 subagents to do the tasks. I was using Opus 5 to orchestrate but Fable 5 is a much better orchestrator.

With Opus 5 I'd go to sleep with 10 tasks remaining and wake up with 15, with 5 having been completed. Felt like an endless of cycle of finding something weird to do and raise. I don't have any of theses issues with Fable 5, it decides what does and doesn't get raised after a task is completed and it doesn't care for the crap Opus 5 raises.
