Anthropic's 'Honeycomb' model previewed via Cursor IDE

A user on Reddit shared their limited experience with Anthropic's "Honeycomb" model, which they accessed through the Cursor IDE. The model's performance was comparable to Opus or Grok 4.5, but its pricing suggested it might be closer to Sonnet or Haiku class models. The user noted frequent connection errors and speculated that the model might be a preview of Fable 5.1 due to its safety fallbacks, though the pricing did not align with this theory. AI
