This is the best way to use Claude Fable in Claude Code without immediately hitting your limits.
1. Model set to Fable 5
2. Reasoning on Max
3. Instruct Claude to run a dynamic workflow where:
3a. Fable is the orchestrator
3b. Opus does the reasoning heavy phases
Fable is so overpowered that you don't need its intelligence for every step.
Let it orchestrate Opus or even Sonnet.

Most of us who work on heavily used systems at scale saw this one coming, and that they would propose a rewrite as they just have, and we also don’t think this is the answer.
This is why hubris is a very counterproductive quality in engineering.
Why do we all agree on this?
