Fable 5 Should Be Used Sparingly for Judgments

The author argues that Fable 5 is not suited as a daily workhorse model, but rather should act as a "high-value judge used sparingly."
Their proposed workflow breakdown:
- Fable handles planning and reviewing the final diff, using minimal tokens for high-quality judgments.
- GPT 5.6 does the actual text generation at a lower cost.
- Luna manages trivial tasks, keeping cheap models on high-frequency steps.
They conclude that burning $500/4 hours isn't an issue with the pricing itself, but with using the most expensive model for low-value work like "writing." The right approach is to "let it think, not let it type."
