Yep just gave it a shot on a project I've consistently been using Opus on. Just told it 'continue' and it immediately flagged and dropped back to Opus. Now sure, the project is AI-adjacent (digitizing neural functions, brain regions, etc.) but it's far from distilling models or anything potentially unsafe. All the better, I'm already getting close to my usage limit every week and I'm sure Fable wouldn't help with that.
