@sanjayjavin Now 15-year-olds not only have social media, they have AI apps too. It's like when we were kids and use to ask if calculator exists why cant we use it during exams! The coming generation might be the laziest generation.
I gave both Fable 5 and Opus 5 the exact same prompt:
"Build an ultra-realistic flight simulator."
The results weren't what I expected.
Which one do you prefer?
Claude Opus 5 is Fable 5 level at half the price.
It does not one shot the way Fable 5 does. It takes an extra pass on tasks Fable nails first try.
But the usage is a different world. I have been running it all day and I am nowhere near my limits.
It is slow right now at launch. Painfully slow at times. I am hoping that improves.
I pay $400 a month across 2 Max subscriptions and this is the first time in weeks that has felt reasonable.
I just cancelled 2 $200 Claude Max subscriptions.
In their place: one $199 MoonshotAI Vivace plan, purchased this morning for Kimi K3.
Kimi K3 is better than Fable 5 at frontend design.
That is half of why I kept 4 Max accounts, gone overnight.
The other half is trust, and Anthropic burned it.
Nobody knows if Fable 5 survives Sunday. Nobody knows what the limits are week to week. Nobody knows anything, because they refuse to communicate.
Moonshot earned $199 with one great model.
Anthropic lost $400 with a month of chaos.
Sir, if we pull Fable out of the subscription, our next best model is Opus 4.8 and even Grok beats that now, let alone GPT Sol.
we'd be charging $200/month for third place.
Fable 5 CANNOT be removed from Anthropic subscriptions.
The new Artificial Analysis Coding Index shows exactly why.
Without Fable 5, Anthropic's best subscription model is Opus 4.8. It loses to GPT 5.6.
It even loses to GPT 5.5. The OLD GPT.
At that point there is no reason to pay for Claude. None.
Fable 5 is not a perk.
It is the entire case for the subscription.
Game 1 of the FIDE World Cup Finals ends in a draw
Rameshbabu Praggnanandhaa made a solid draw with the White pieces against World no. 1 Magnus Carlsen. It was a balanced game, where the players agreed to a draw in an equal Rook and Knight ending after 35 moves of play.
