One user says Opus 5 feels cursed and says Fable is better even after cost
doodlestein · x · 2026-07-29
A reply says the model has become “cursed” and recommends going back to Fable, which the author считает superior even after cost is considered.
The exchange is short, but it still conveys a concrete user sentiment: some users are finding Opus 5 unpleasant to talk to, while another model is perceived as better overall value.
This is more of a model experience anecdote than a substantive benchmark or launch.
