Either I’ve already beaten the fallback mechanisms in Fable 5 or they don’t use Opus 4.8 / Sonnet 4.6 / Haiku 4.5 as the fallback. I’ve run several different tasks about upgrading our training library through each model and the output from Fable looks nothing like the others.
Some users accused Fable 5 of intentionally sabotaging tasks by sandbagging instead of falling back to another model.

I haven’t read the Fable 5 output in detail because I’m on mobile and can’t test it right now, but even if it’s sandbagging it’s still much better than the other model options.

Unless it has introduced subtle bugs I guess? But it was much faster to identify the key changes necessary and provided the information in a better explained and clearer way. And the code looks better designed at a glance.

@Tacticsos RIP my reading comprehension

@BlancheMinerva It's not supposed to go to a fallback model. It supposed to subtly sandbag or screw with your work.
Demo with modifying our training library to add a recently developed parallelism technique:

@BlancheMinerva If you do cyber or biology stuff, it goes to a fallback model (Opus 4.8 if I remember correctly), so it's easy to see how you got confused.
