Fable 5.2 real-work review: success rate fell from 73% to 45% in three weeks, now supervising its own fix

A Reddit user reviews Fable 5.2 on real work, not benchmarks: it diagnosed why his /Supervise skill's success rate dropped from 73% to 45% in three weeks and is now supervising the remediation with cheaper Anthropic models. Verdict: big step up from 5.1, API price slightly lower but still the priciest; he pairs Opus 5.5 (code review), 6.1 Sol (planning), and DeepSeek V4.1 Flash / Terra (cheap workhorse coding), and finds Anthropic models stronger coders while OpenAI's subscription gives him more value.
