Feedback from a heavy daily user: recent Fable 5 sessions feel noticeably degraded versus earlier in the release window — the model reads as if it has been quantized or otherwise cost-reduced at serving time.
Request: clarify whether any serving-side precision, distillation, or quantization changes have been applied to claude-fable-5 since launch, and if so, disclose them. If quality is being traded for serving cost, users would rather know than guess.
