@cursor_ai Why is the x axis backwards?

@cursor_ai We've been testing it for a week. Here are the best workflows: https://every.to/vibe-check/anthropic-mythos-our-fable-vibe-check

@cursor_ai the more things change the more they stay the same

@cursor_ai The benchmarks are insane.

@cursor_ai Use 5.5 high. Not fair to compare high to medium

@cursor_ai composer 2.5 is close to fable 5's lowest is what impresses me 😅

@cursor_ai I really like how gpt 5.5 xhigh is conveniently missing

@cursor_ai That is great, but I have to ask, shouldn't the default be "medium," judging by the graph?

That seems like a more reasonable default, given the bang for the buck

@cursor_ai Is the ZDR model consent popover missing from the dashboard? I cannot find a way to enable it for my team.

@cursor_ai Get $400 of API credit for Claude FABLE 5 for only $100 :) https://cursor.com/referral?code=ZLYGHVFTMSOE

@cursor_ai 72.9% on CursorBench is nice but the 8 point jump is the part I'd actually want to see hold up on real repos, not just the benchmark. half my Claude wins evaporate the moment there's a weird monorepo path involved.

@cursor_ai everyone's announcing Fable 5 integration today. none of them built the model. the real question is who owns the workflow when the model doesn't matter anymore.

@cursor_ai 72.9% on CursorBench—a full 8-point leap. This isn't just a benchmark win; it's a signal that AI coding assistants are moving from "helpful" to indispensable for dev workflows.

@cursor_ai Are you going to pull it from Cursor plans on the 23rd as well?

@cursor_ai where's Composer Pro? Please draw a line extending upward and to the left from the 2.5 dot

@cursor_ai 8 point jump on cursorbench is wild - wonder if that holds on real codebases
