What's Wrong?
Fable 5 is practically useless for anything code-related. The problem is that Fable 5 can't do the thing Claude Code exists to do. It's a coding tool, and the flagship model bails on ordinary coding work. So what topics is this new model actually allowed to answer — "hi, how are you"? Are you building a tool for housewives? Whoever came up with this restriction isn't very bright and has clearly never written a single line of backend code in their life.
