This third-party mirror won't load for me.

That aside, they said "some routine tasks like coding and debugging". Since I'm using it for coding right now and it's notably better than Opus 4.8, I think what they mean is that some coding and debugging tasks will fall back.

How's it different from Opus in your experience?

[LoganDark]

Fable is a lot more confident making decisions for me. Opus tends to create hacky workarounds rather than thinking through the architecture. The difference is so great that when Fable was withdrawn last month I just stopped using Claude, because I did not want to go back to Opus.

One of my first experiences with Fable was giving it an Opus task and watching it work for more than twice the typical time that Opus works and complete the task to a much higher standard of quality than Opus ever did. That was enough to solidify how much better it is already, but I just keep seeing the difference in everything I do with it.
