A developer's early review of Anthropic's Fable 5.1 after 24 hours: the strongest first impression of any model, more deliberate than Fable 5 and sometimes almost Opus-5-like, with excellent logic when the first prompt is detailed. They migrated nearly 5,000 components to a new design system with it (Opus 5 as fallback), but hit rate limits noticeably faster — the top community complaint. UI work not yet fully judged.
