Redditors call Opus 4.6 the ideal AI — but its small context window forces coding switches
AccurateSandwich0 · reddit · 2026-09-11
A Reddit user praises Opus 4.6 as the "wet dream of AI": direct, goal-oriented, clear yet genuinely deep output, unmatched for daily use on max extended thinking. The one real flaw is its context window — for coding they switch to 4.8, not because it's smarter but because it has more room. They also like Fable 5.1 as a project-level model for overviews and task steering, but slam its usage limits as absurd.
