> With Fable 5, Strands harness cost 77% less than Claude Code and scored higher on Terminal Bench 2.1.
Terminal Bench 2.1 is saturated. Many token saving techniques would save money and score basically the same running Fable 5 against Terminal Bench 2.1. (They claim a better score but don’t say how much better. I’d bet my favorite hat that it’s not statistically significant.)
This is at least the fourth time I’ve seen a project hit front page with a “save money with same score on saturated benchmark” claim.
