Quoting Drew Breunig

Opinion — commentary, not a factual news event.
Teleport sponsored a quote by Drew Breunig explaining how the release of Fable shifted their thinking about improving coding harnesses versus allocating work across models. He points to models like Opus and lists 5.6 as sufficient for most of the code they needed. As a result, they focused on deciding what tasks run where instead of spending more time on harness and context strategies.
Why it matters
Prior to Fable, it felt silly to waste too much time improving your coding harness or context strategies. A new model would arrive at the same price (or cheaper!) and paper over most of your problems. But then Fable landed. It was (and still is!) incredible. But the cost was so high and Opus was good enough (as was 5.6, K3, and even GLM) for most of the code we needed. So we started to think about what work went where. — Drew Breunig, Fable & The End of the Free Lunch Tags: drew-breunig, anthropic, claude, llm-pricing, ai, llms, generative-ai, claude-mythos-fable
