In this video, I share the inside scoop on choosing between Fable 5.1 and Astra job by job: - Why the second round of prompting matters more than the first - How one short prompt produced two completely different Mac apps - What made Shelf easier to reach for than Ledge - Where I now start for writing, spreadsheets, research, and code Neither model wins every job, and knowing which one to open is worth more than knowing which one benchmarks higher.
