4.6 stan here. Yes, agreed. However, I will try this model out in Claude Code. Some indicators seem positive.

For the LLM use cases in my own products, you can pull 4.6 out of my dead hands! lol

edit: Fable 5 appears to be the real deal in at least some use cases. Damn.

I've personally liked 4.6 the best to date, preferring it by far to 4.7 and 4.8 (even with these on max effort!), both in Claude Code and for non-coding tasks in the chat UIs.

Still early but from my first few interactions with Fable on high in both settings, it feels like it might finally dethrone 4.6 for me, but time will tell.

Hoping it doesn't get nerfed and eventually comes back to the subscriptions.
