SSIA - done w/ the attitude and lazy for $200 a month crap. Other services are practically as good and don't make me pissed off the second the very obvious 4.8 attitude starts yapping.
"Objection your honor!" - Opus 4.8
SSIA - I've definitely gotten the 4.8 language/unwillingness to code on the Webui when using Fable (selected Fable, bottom bar says fable). It's a major annoyance and hopefully it's just due to Anthropic not being able to handle demand at this early stage.
That said, I just noticed clicking through my recent chats that some show "Opus 4.8 max" for a second and then snap to "Fable 5 High". I've never intentionally switched from Fable5 to Opus 4.8. I've also never started w/ Opus 4.8 and then had the ability to switch for Fable. So I'm thinking perhaps this is a bit of a UI glitch that might be revealing chats you started with "Fable5" that were actually handled by 4.8 under the name "Fable"......
If anyone else who has believes they've had a nerfed/degraded Fable has the same flip/flop behavior when picking old chats and then looking watching the model it'd be great if you could comment.
BTW - Not ALL of my Fable5 period chats do this - the ones from July 7th do not (launch?) but from at least the 10th on I have mostly flip/flop.
Lastly - Once you click the titles and have them open, if you do it again they won't do the flip/flop - they'll show the final name (Fable5). However, if you do the hard browser reset (ctrl-shift-r - clears cooking and such) it will exhibit that behavior again if it ever did.
