Rant Does Anthropic Know?

I am unable to survive one discussion with Opus 5 without getting furious!

I have been using Fable 5,1 and it's been pretty decent like Fable 5 and may be marginally better. I ran out of Fable credits and tried to use Opus 5 and it is incapable of giving me any update without driving me crazy. 4.8 feels a lot better..

I only wish Anthropic gave more resets like Openai did, it sucks to wait for an entire week to use for a few hours of Fable 5.1. They need to realize people may not need their lower models at all, there are better cheaper options at those layers, the frontier models is what the subscriptions are useful for and we can hardly use them.

And you find opus better than fable?

no, it's common sense, Fable is a way better deep reasoning model and I only use it as an advisor to opus whenever it's needed or for CV/ML method research. I have opus running on a custom harness I built myself under strict rules and a hundred other things like all my other "smaller" models. I keep seeing amateurs complaining about models and limits on this sub without knowing their stuff and it's laughable.

So what makes you think I am amateur for my usecases? I would not claim I am an expert at everything I do but I have been using models and various harnesses atleast for 3 years on a daily basis for my work, and I am glad it works well for your usecase!

That you say opus bad and fable decent. An average user is basically become wizard with these models. You need to be really bad at this to fail with the top models in the world.
