The reality is that Fable will eventually be obsolete and Sonnet / Opus will surpass it. Fable did cost 2x as much as Opus, so I assume it involves a much higher cost for what it did, but I wouldn't be surprised if Fable will be obsoleted by Opus or even Sonnet sooner or later at less cost.

Okay I don’t care about “eventually”, I want Fable now.

    Have you considered getting better at coding so you can build stuff yourself instead of waiting for models you might not be able to get access to anymore?

      I'd love to meet the devs who can spin up full feature web apps in under 15 minutes with all the bells and whistles I've gotten Claude to spin up and code. I don't think the AI haters understand the level of time cutting that you can achieve with a very simple and reasonably crafted prompt.

      I'm talking back-end, with database models, classes, queries, accompanying front-end layouts, with real dynamic data, running. Stuff that takes days to weeks to spin up, with minimal errors or issues, having cut down on days or weeks of effort, you can focus on testing and making it all into better code.

      What if you're using it for Mathematics (e.g., making progress on unsolved problems) instead of writing software? Would you consider that a valid use-case?

According to CursorBench [0], Fable is the first runner-up, scoring 72.9% ($18.02, Max), while Opus 4.7 Max hits 64.8% ($11.02) and GPT-5.5 Extra High sits at 64.3% ($4.37).

I bet most American companies would choose Fable over GPT-5.5. Employee salaries cost far more than token costs. Getting the job done right is much more important.
