Claude Opus 5 VS Fable 5: Who Wins?

Claude Fabel 5 versus Opus 5, who wins? Today, I'm going to be showing you my side by side comparisons and all the builds that I've created side by side with Fabel 5 to show you which one is the best, how to get the most out of them, how I find both models compare, and also what we've got here. So this is Fabel 5 on the left hand side, and then we have, for example, Claude Opus 5 on the right hand side. Actually, if you look at the comparisons side by side, the quality is really, really nice with Opus 5 Now, this doesn't mean the Fabel 5 is better than Opus 5, just from one single test, and I'll walk you through all the builds in a second, but the quality, the gameplay, the style, the coding, everything else is looking really, really nice. Let's compare another example here. So this is a kind of Minecraft style game. You see, it's pretty cool with the lighting, the lighting changes depending on the enemies and everything else that's going on inside here. Bear in mind, the Fable 5 is very similar on the benchmarks to something like Claude Opus 5 The only thing that's really changed is the Opus 5 is a lot cheaper than Fable 5 if you're using the API. Also, you can get the full subscription with Opus 5 on your Claude plan. Whereas, for example, if you're using Fable 5, you can't use your full subscription. You can only use 50% of it. But in terms of the build quality, you can see here, both of these are really good. However, if I had a choice, I'd actually go with Opus 5's build on both of these different tests. These are just standard tests we do for every single model. Now, also, if you look at this, a lot of people are asking, why would you continue to use Fable 5 if Opus 5 is basically at the same level? I think what's going to happen pretty soon is that Fable 6 or a new version of Fable 5 is going to drop. This can be way better because from what I'm seeing right here, it doesn't make any sense to actually continue using Fable 5 when it's so expensive and also can use so many more tokens, and you don't get a full token allowance like you do with Opus 5 So that's what I'm seeing, but who knows what's going to happen next? This is another example. So this is kind of like a Skyrim style game, as you can see. This one actually is pretty much broken. Like if we try and move forward here, we can only move sideways, which is really weird. And then to move forwards, it's the button to move sideways, like controls are totally broken. The graphics are actually pretty nice, and you can see like this enemies and stuff over there, the actual game play pretty bad. Let's have a look, for example, at Fable 5 This one easily wins. So you can see Fable 5, like the design, the graphics is a little bit buggy, but at least you can move forward and the controls are working properly here. And then it's got the enemies as well. So overall, for sure, Fable 5 wins on that one. Let's have another look at an example here. So the quality of this output from Opus 5, much, much nicer, like more fun to play, more 3D, better skills, etc. Just like the vibe and the feel of the game is better. I've seen that a lot of the tests we've done so far. This is a racing game. So we can see here, for example, like Opus 5, it's just really, really good at coding out. And also it's a lot faster as well. That's something to bear in mind is like it's faster when it's coding out, builds better quality stuff.
A lot of these are like one shots as well. So I just created this in one shot and built it out. But yeah, I mean, so far, you've seen so many different builds from Opus 5 that are really, really good here. Let's have a look at the Parachute game here. Now, there's a clear quality difference in my opinion on both of these.
So if we have a look side by side here, this is kind of crazy and buggy, this one, as you can see.
But if we have a look at Fable 5, like Fable 5's version is not particularly nice for this Parachute game. I mean, at least this one is a bit more interesting from Opus 5 So on a lot of these tests, Opus 5 is either holding its own or doing better.
