Yep, sounds like the usual time pressure tactics. Perhaps because no one's actually trying it.

In the mean time, their vibe coded frontend doesn't actually let me use Fable because it thinks i'm trying to hack open source software. What I'm actually doing is debugging null pointer crashes due to data corruption in the closed source software i work for these days, but no, you dirty hacker, you can't do that.

So let's recapitulate:

- they put out some marketing copy about Fable being a world ending threat for finding security vulnerabilities

- they get banned by the US government, which believes the marketing copy

- they add "safeguards" and the US government allows them to make it public again

- said safeguards make the product useless for their paying customers

I’ve consciously not used Fable because I want some usage allowance to remain for the rest of the week. The 2x billing is just too aggressive for me when I tried it (max x20 plan user currently).

More so my problem is that they are baiting people to burn tokens meaninglessly, when ni need to rush and hurry and try to max out your usage

[nottorp]

That's your choice. I just turned Fable on and did my usual stuff.

But then I'm not vibe coding so my token usage is ridiculously small...

I would try it but it goes to opus 4.8 for all we do and so we stopped trying. Our work is not focused on security but obviously, as everything has to, it needs to be audit security. And that will have it change the model.

No that’s the other myth ( some variants of spelling) one

"pointers?" Someone call the FBI! This guy is hacking!

For your average user, Sonnet is more than enough. Opus will be rarely used. Fable is really something professionals will use and even then with low frequency. The model is really good but the token economics don't make it so appealing to the amount and breadth of people you need to get people talking about Fable the way people talked about Chatgpt in 2022. AI fatigue is here and Anthropic and the like are fighting hopelessly against a rising tide.
