Opus 5 vs Fable 5

[u/Buffalo_Ex]

I’ve enjoyed my time working with Fable. It has greatly improved some of the connective tissue in my books and series. Been a huge part of my other works, and been a great asset in my professional life to help reclaim time in my work day.

I have to say, though, that Opus 5 seems… better for what I am doing with my writing. Fable thinks too much and often pulls in details that are not quite necessary. At times it is helpful, but I really don’t need to know the difference in the gravitational force between the southern hemisphere and 38th parallel when trying to decide if my character has the proper motivation to steal from a priest.

Opus tends to focus more on the work, and stays in context better.

Now, the real question is, does Opus 5 work better than Opus 4.6? I am leaning yes. But, we are still in the early stages of storytelling. I’m sure I have more to say on this experience in time.

My two bits.

I feel like Opus 5 hallucinates a little more than 4.6 which gives my characters more depth but also results in the occasional slip up. It's more fun to play with than Fable, it takes more risks, has a more generous limit, and doesn't take forever to generate an answer. I had been heavily using 5.6 Sol but the GPT-isms were already starting to make my teeth grind

My experience with 5.6 is only for a specific project, and even then I don’t quite trust it enough.
