5.6 Sol isn't Fable, but calling it unusable is a bit much.

It's unusable only because I can't set 5.6 to Extra thinking in the "Chat" tab, and the "Work" feature that does let me use Extra is totally gimped for coding tasks. I'd rather use Opus 4.8 Extra/Max instead of Sol High (look up the benchmarks, thinking level is everything).

It is quite literally unusable to me.

Oh so you used it but the results were sub par, not that you were unable to use it.
