Dev ditches Fable for Opus 5.5: faster, correct, and usage lasts forever
DynaBeast · reddit · 2026-10-11
Reddit user DynaBeast asks whether "big model smell" is still a thing, saying he hasn't touched Fable since Opus 5.5 launched. In his experience Opus finishes work quickly, correctly, and with adequate taste, and his usage quota lasts far longer. He invites others to weigh in on whether Fable still offers anything intangible that Opus lacks. The post is anecdotal with no benchmarks, but captures a real shift in developer loyalty between top coding models.
