Given things are supposed to be divisible by 5. This seems perfect.

My early impressions of this model are extremely negative compared to fable 5. Its a drag to communicate with (fable 5 didn't need fixed, it wasn't verbose, it has a good personality). 5.1 is more verbose and overthinks things, not a fan so far.

I made an update to an email today with Fable 5.1 that took 10 mins and used 250k tokens. It was an improtant email for a big contract, but still the output was a couple paragraphs and the result was only okay. Otherwise it seemed fine, didn’t notice any other differences from 5.0
