Why I'm NOT Using Fable 5 for Everything (A Lesson Learned) | Which Claude Model Should You Use?

I gave Fable 5 a real coding task and had to kill it twice. Here's when the heavy reasoning models actually help — and when they slow you down. ⏱️ Timestamps 0:00 – The two-kill story 0:32 – What you will learn from this video 1:15 – The result of my prompt 2:00 – Where Fable 5 shines - The 60-day policy catch 3:38 – What I had to do instead of waiting 4:04 – Back to Sonnet 4.6 5:30 – The lessons learned 🐢 Fable 5 planned every detail before touching a line of code — thorough, but slow 🔍 The interrupt button let me check progress instead of waiting it out blind 🚩 Fable 5 caught a real gap in my CLAUDE.md — a 60-day return policy it was never told about ⚡ Sonnet 4.6 finished the same task faster, with a cleaner result 🛠️ The real lesson: match the model to the task, not the other way around Have you noticed a speed-vs-quality trade-off with the newer models?
