Opus 4.6 was OUR wet dream of AI

Users express strong sentiment for Opus 4.6, calling it "the wet dream of AI" and "unmatched for personal use" in Claude Chat with extended thinking. While 4.8 is used for coding due to its larger context, it's not considered superior. Fable 5.1 is seen as a solid project-level model for overviews and task steering, but its usage limits are criticized.

Unlike other models, Opus 4.6 is described by users as "unmatched for personal use" even when compared to the newer 4.8 and Fable 5.1 versions.
