Anthropic's Fable 5.2 docs say a one-line ownership prompt roughly quintuples how often the model merges repeated code in small coding tests, at the cost of more output tokens and unsolicited changes.
Mollick says Fable 5.2 matches experts on many digital tasks but still misses taste, length, and self-critique, so humans must steer long agent runs.
Fable 5.2 beats Opus 5.5 on 11 of 12 benchmarks in Anthropic's own table and ties it on FrontierCode at about half the cost per task, but lists at $8/$40 versus $4/$20, so route by task, not by habit.
