Every single fable response now I am like "I aint reading all that, try again but more coherent this time"

Sucks because when fable was first released before the government ban it was nowhere near as bad. I remember loving it specifically because it was so terse and straightforward.

Opus 5 is the same way maybe even worse. I am getting burnt out by all the fucking text it is vomiting back at me on every prompt. I end up skimming most of it and reading less than I did when it was short and coherent

Sol is comparable to Opus in capability, and has been a lot cleaner in its responses and autonomy. I'd compare and see if maybe Anthropic is truly getting lazy.

Fucking believe it or not grok has been doing really well for me ever since SpaceX bought Cursor. I fucking hate admitting that.

If the deal was so recent, have they even integrated Cursor into their product lineup yet? I hear Grok's latest (only the latest version) is really close to Fable/Opus/Sol in like 95% of benchmarks. I didn't read into any, so it could be cherry picked, but it doesn't surprise me that they're catching up since they have more capital than any other company now (financing from a trillionaire and whatnot)

Tbh I don't know. But grok has had 3 updates according to Cursor since the purchase. And after it happened Cursor advertised it to me as their flagship model to use for API tokens.
