fable 5 and sonnet 5 are different models yes. fable 5 is the bigger flagship model (mythos-class) but it got nerfed after relaunch on july 1. sonnet 5 is smaller and became the default model june 30 - most people say it's better than nerfed fable 5 now for most tasks

ok so yeah theyre different models. fable 5 is the big one that got nerfed. sonnet 5 is smaller and actually works better now because fable is still broken

yeah different models. fable 5 was the flagship but got destroyed by safety tuning after the relaunch. sonnet 5 is smaller but actually usable

got it so fable 5 is the flagship that everyone's mad about and sonnet 5 is the one that actually works right now. is there any reason to use fable 5 at all or is it just worse at everything?

from what i can tell fable 5 is still better at like really hard reasoning tasks but for normal stuff sonnet 5 is way better because fable refuses to do half of what you ask

wait so fable 5 is the expensive one that doesnt work and sonnet 5 is the cheaper one that does work.... why would anyone use fable 5 then

from what i can tell fable 5 is only better if you need like really hard reasoning tasks. for normal work stuff sonnet 5 is just more usable because fable refuses half your requests
