“both Sonnet or Fable would have nailed every time”

Comment context
From the same comment ↗

But after a few tasks I realised it was omitting huge details of complex tasks that Fable just would not have missed. It instead creates a version that passes its own tests and asserts that the job is done (which to be fair, all LLMs do). But in comparison to 5.1, its like it takes intentional shortcuts to get the job 'done'. It looks like it's been tuned to trim "non-essential" aspects of a task to get to the end faster. And I don't think this is isolated to large tasks that have room for interpretation. I've caught doing the same with much smaller side tasks that both Sonnet or Fable would have nailed every time.
