Fable is cooked. So many sessions ends with you have reached max token limit (despite having credits), sometimes mid way responding. So you have to start again losing all context you built. Looks like another way to scam people.

I could resume almost all of my Fable sessions, either with an explicit resume button (in Claude Design) or just telling it to continue (in Chat and Code).

I noticed this works today, but for at last few days when I clicked "continue" it would not do anything. It couldn't even "compact" the conversation, was getting stuck at 95%.

I wonder if their projections of load are/aren't turning out as planned, and where they might be being safe to not have as many outages, when they don't happen, they are left with extra capacity. Or discovering different parts of the year have less demand than expected (like summer holidays). This is not to discount anything you're saying, only additional factors.

Anecdotally, I’m seeing a lot of people I work with on vacation in America and Europe. That might be dampening inference demand right as Anthropic’s xAI contracts power up.

Me as well.

Fable model is good, but after a few uses, there's a session limit. Unless you use the API, it's hard to use it for building anything substantial, even though I'm currently on the 10x max plan. So I end up using it mostly for code review. I subscribed to AI to avoid coding, but I'm still coding. I'm just using it as an overseer

Fable is working excellent in my medium project with 250+ files and 60 odd thousand (and shrinking) lines of code. I am on MAX 5. However I don't permit the use of agents, use the /handoff method with compaction disabled. I never hit limits. Claude Code extension in VSCodium, with 5 MCP servers.

Hmm ok. The fact 5.6 Sol performs around Fable level and is included without mega token spend in the subscriptions means I’ve promoted codex to my primary harness and model. The latest release of the CLI, app, and desktop fills a lot of the gaps. Anthropic painted itself into a corner with fable at many turns and this latest twist is one of the more interesting. Either fable is too expensive to run at scale, or they’…

Exactly. We are all on Claude where I work but as soon as the costs rise we are migrating. Changing to a new coding agent stack feels like it will be about as much effort as migrating to a new keyboard. Gross or painful for about a week or two.

I recently swapped to Codex and its pretty great after a day or so of migrating configs and wrangling Codex's bubblewrap and finetuning the auto mode classifier prompt.

Claude is now mostly demoted to Claude Design.

I liked the fact that ChatGPT web chat usage is separate from Codex usage.

As I read somewhere, “I smell fear”. But we should all be afraid. Not only Anthropic isn’t anywhere close to being profitable, but the whole gang of frontier labs, breastfed with a mix of VC money and pension funds from the average Joe, is being pressured by Chinese lab. I just hope they find some defensible moat someday, or these $$$ are going to go up in smoke.

I should try using it too, just like you did. thanks!

Which is why these companies must be overvalued. This is the definition of a commodity. We have no loyalty to any vendor or model, it's just about capability, price and performance and there can only be so many more increments in capability before these models are good enough that it doesn't matter which you use for 99.9 pct of tasks and the frontier moves on to robotics or the next hard domain (which OpenAI / Anthro…

> This is the definition of a commodity Not really. It’s the definition of a tight market with two leaders. When folks start running various rando open-source models locally instead of well-recognized brands, then we will have evidence of fungibility and thus commoditization.

I'd say for some sectors and users, we're already seeing that. After GLM-5.2's release there were quite a few stories about it picking up use.

Then looking at Openrouter's stats we can see heavy use of non Anthropic/OpenAI models https://openrouter.ai/rankings#top-models

I'm not sure I'd call them rando, but Deepseek/Qwen/GLM all have decent models that will work fine for some use cases at much lower costs that the SOTA models from Anthropic/OpenAI.

Exactly. As soon as business works out that there are open models that can achieve parity at a fraction of the cost, they will switch model. They have to. Business exists to make money, and if they can do the same thing at lower cost, they will.
