Fable Is Very Good

ANTHROPIC CLAUDE-CODE

Fable is very good by Robin Sloan

I mean, this is lit­er­ally the core muscle of any/every lan­guage model: “I need to quickly and accu­rately under­stand what kind of doc­u­ment I am inside.” Yet the sen­si­tivity of that orienteering, the sub­tlety of it, has gotten so much better.

This is something I’ve noticed too. In fact using Fable has made me close a bunch of things - redesigning the home page, adding a UI to create micro posts (including uploading images to the R2 bucket and posting those to socials).

It is very good at understanding the code base.

    Then, on Tuesday, I wrote about Robin Sloan's experience using Fable and around the same time Fable came back and Anthropic told me, hey, you have cheaper access to the model till 7th July. So, I thought, let's let Fable handle this.
