I think so! From my point of view I don't think that these models have been passable for around a year now. Seems to me that opus 5.5 and fable 5.2 are really ramping things up.
Especially on the vision side of things, and being able to be steered in a direction I'm finally happy with.
Give you a few examples:
- Couple of projects at work that where shelved due to being too long, have been merged in a few weeks.
- I generated a whole icon pack in a weekend using fable 5.2 (haven't been able to make this with any other model)
- On the personal side, I build a few smart devices (PCB included and housing printing) in a few days. Something that would have taken me who knows what long!
- I have agents roaming the app findings ~20 visual quirks at work per day. I used to take a whole day to patch between 5-10.
Obviously for some projects things don't change and it's still 1:1 speed, but other 1:100 even..!
