Every software engineer in my company uses Claude code heavily. However we’ve never enabled Fable and only use Opus, Sonnet and Haiku.

Nobody has complained and seems like for every use case we have Opus is more than powerful enough, especially with Opus 5

I almost feel like there's some sort of paid campaign going on in Hacker News promoting the Chinese/open models. I feel like every day I'm hearing about how the frontier labs are dead but your experience is the same as mine. My company pays for Claude AND Codex but we never really use the open models for anything critical.

Fable is not a tool for the average user. It’s a professional tool for highly complex work.

I would compare it to a extremely high end $15k PC, or an expensive pro-grade video camera, or a freight train, or a …

I would say at least 95% of the global population will not encounter a situation once in their life where it would be actually useful/warranted.

I've always wondered why everyone flocks to SV's latest darling company. Have we not learned from our history of glorifying these SV darlings that turn hostile?

Are people flocking to them? I see people buy the products but if you ask I think they are just about as hated in the big techs.

You have a $3 trillion bubble riding on this not being true.
