    I seem to recall Anthropic going on record saying that they don't do anything to model performance to stretch their compute capacity. I've anecdotally noticed massive peaks and troughs in performance week to week (albeit with Opus, not Fable).

    I wonder what their official explanation for this behavior is.

      Last time they were called out, it was a regression in Claude code itself.

      At least that's their explanation. Either way, it wasn't a good look for "vibecoding" but it got brushed over.
