It’s amazing

I missed the window to try it the first time. It is unbelievable. I have an aerospace engineering problem I’ve been working on as a hobby for months and months—the performance and handling of a very old aircraft, with extremely limited technical data that uses data formats totally alien to modern aviation technology, which I’ve been painstakingly translating, extracting, re-computing, and testing to make a virtual simulated model as accurate to the real machine as possible. I have worked mostly by hand except where I need translation from the Russian-language sources with Opus. The task is especially difficult because the format of the available data predates virtually every standard now taken for granted and requires massive effort to translate into something useable in a modern aerospace context.

I gave Fable one (1) PDF of a blurry scan of the highly technical operating manual and in one prompt and about 2 minutes it flawlessly recreated 8 months of work. It arrived at all the same numbers I did and even got some things right I was mistaken about. I didn’t even have to digitize anything; it interpreted polars and highly unusual %MAC graphs instantly and flawless from the scanned images alone. This is the future and it’s absolutely unbelievable. The complexity and speed of what I just watched it do is absolutely beyond comprehension. My mind is blown. It’s so far beyond even Opus 4.8, it doesn’t even make sense to compare them. Opus runs out of context trying to work through one scan at a time, Fable just devoured the entire manual and computed every relevant data point instantly.
