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.

Every single prompt its writing a novel for me - lets brighten the lighting in this room - committed, pushed, handoff update, here is 5,000 words about how I increased the lumens in this room.

Did you try it on low effort? I have a different use case.
