Fable's High Cost Drives Users to Prepare Better Context
dbreunig · x · 2026-07-04
dbreunig shared thoughts on using Anthropic's new model Fable: first, it is expensive but of extremely high quality; second, precisely because of the high cost, users put more effort into preparing the environment, reference materials, and context to ensure value for money; third, he accidentally found that Opus is actually more suitable for certain tasks. Overall, it reflects how high-priced models are changing usage patterns and workflows.
