there isn’t a single model i have come across that i have enjoyed using more than fable, for almost everything. thinking, sparring, coding, creative work, & so much more.
it is pure joy to use. it feels like the ultimate companion.
i don’t think it’s actually the raw capability that ppl keep touting but maybe more taste & the willingness to disagree & not sand every edge off. like given an ambiguous request it actually makes a judgment call & seems okay being wrong. more importantly it doesn’t seem to hedge into mush like almost all other models do (i find gemini to be the the absolute worst here, i rarely if ever reach for it). we’ll see what gpt 5.6 offers but fable is truly truly world class right now.
