Never letting the model write directly: custom tools make Fable 5.2 prose feel human

Flomerboy · x · 2026-11-12

jamesjyu found a way to make Fable 5.2 write more like a human: give it a set of custom writing/editing tools with one cardinal rule — it may never produce words directly itself, only manipulate text via tool calls. Like wielding a virtual paintbrush instead of diffusion (avoiding mode-collapsed art styles), this sidesteps overwrought LLM prose. Flomerboy calls it an existence proof that writing style can be solved with test-time compute. Demo video and example prompt included.
