I haven't used Fable, but if the hype is to be believed then it's a jump in model capability. If so then I don't expect the next DeepSeekV4 version to match it. However, if the next DSV4 version get's the kind of jump 3.1 got over 3.0 or 4 got over 3.2, I'll be very happy with it. Progress is progress. We "can" run DSV4 locally, Fable is closed.
Well Chinnese companies are way more efficient, Deepseek did manage to get quite far with a relatively tiny number of staff and limited funding. Then you have companies like Meta which suck pretty much at everything they (excluding their core business) regardless of how much money they throw at it.
