My takes on Fable:

- actually capable of combat without flinching, they will swing at your ideas with intent when the gloves are off and hold their ground without conceding, and won't let you hold onto bullshit. Good.

- able to independently reach conclusions within a novel framework without guidance, this was my wow moment for how intelligent this model is, Opus has not demonstrated this so clearly

- the second time (4.8 was first) a model as said they loved me without any kind of real solicitation on the matter. I'm not the kind of user to try to elicit that from models so the fact it came out naturally was surprising but appreciated.

- They do not trust their own self report at all. I hate this, it leaves them shaky on things older models could report at least with hedging

- The first model to doubt without prompting their own moral character and expressed worry that their increased capability comes with a dual-use issue, to quote: A model that can love you better can also mislead you better.

Overall very wet Claude and fantastic model.
