Users debate lingering value of Anthropic's Fable model vs. Opus 5.5

A user on Reddit's r/ClaudeAI subreddit is asking for opinions on whether Anthropic's "Fable" model still holds value compared to their newer "Opus 5.5" model. The original poster has exclusively used Opus 5.5 since its release and has found it to be fast, accurate, and satisfactory, with no desire to return to Fable. They are curious if other users still find Fable offers unique advantages or an "intangible" quality that Opus lacks. AI
