Every backdoor and security no-op Claude Code created, I had been documenting and reporting to them. They deleted the evidence. https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/590…

I take this back. Fable is Fable in name only now. It burned through all MAX 20x tokens in two days and accomplished nothing. Relatively simple tasks.

Fable can one-shot solutions. Opus 4.8 spins its wheels for a week or month and may never get there. Which one uses more resources?

Fable worked great on credits yesterday. Upgraded to 20x Max last night, but not the same performance. And it keeps downgrading to Opus 4.8.

Run /model after your task to see. Mine keeps downgrading to Opus 4.8, which is a problem because Opus 4.8 keeps no-oping critical security code.

Yes, telling Fable 5 to write secure code triggers a downgrade to Opus 4.8. This is doubly bad because Opus 4.8 keeps no-oping critical security code. Is this a bug or by design? I…
