Went through something similar. Fable would just spends minutes thinking, processing, confabulating etc.
I dropped down to Haiku and got an answer in >30 seconds.

After a short discussion about the idea with Claude mostly on how it fits in my workflow and what models / effort I would like for certain tasks it placed a paragraph in my global Claude.md and it has worked wonders. Ultra became a lot better (faster, cheaper for the same output) and the amount of time Fable gets stuck overthinking things are reduced to the places where I think that model makes sense, for the rest it started fanning out a lot to Opus, Sonnet and even Haiku.
Does it spawn sub agents with different models or is it the same single conversation dynamically switching models?

As said, I tweaked it a little bit to my preference (mostly because it started delegating a bit too much) and had it placed in my global claude.md but that's the gist.
