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 wish Fable were as good as you make it sound. A plan created by Fable is good, but in my case, it always contain issues caught only when it's reviewed again (whether by itself, Opus, Sol etc.). That's (almost) not different from plans created by Sol, GLM 5.3 etc. The one thing where it's genuinely better is the front-end, but then again it's far from perfect, it just needs less iterations.

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

Right? If we’ve already reached ‘good enough’ then there’s rough waters ahead.

I have a sneaking suspicion that someone at Google may be making the same bet, looking at the faster and faster Flash models which provide acceptable results to a lot of people (outside of coding).

Would I, a non developer be able to utilize or benefit from Fable? I have been using Sonnet to update and make changes to a piece of open source software that was basically abandoned. It found and fixed a handful of security issues. I am curious if I am missing out on anything. If I change from Sonnet to Fable mid-stream will I lose any history? The one challenge I have run into is turn-by-turn session history. Claude complains about memory constraints. It constantly has to go back and re-learn what it did in our sessions a week or two ago. It accidentally deleted many of its own files so I convinced it to store everything in a .claude sub-directory in my fork of the other persons code so that I can keep it backed up when the claude sandbox has issues. Claude seems to want to talk me out of changing models which I found odd.

I'm just doing this as a hobby for fun and adding features to a program I use. I am trying to make the most of the boost they gave me for August. My account is max pro. (5x more than pro). I am also trying to make the most of this thing in the event that these business models do not pan out.
