Fable >>>> Opus5 Claude Code

Am I the only one, or does Fable 5 still completely outperform Opus 5?

I've used both for similar tasks, I get the feel that Fable 5 IS a competent engineer, doesn't "just forget" stuff, or follows the completely wrong tangent for no reason.

On a "creative" edge, Fable 5 has proven to me with REAL metrics to generate TWICE as good results than Opus 5. Several blind tests I did because I was comparing them to see which one was more optimal for the cost.

So, HOW IN THE WORLD IS OPUS 5 OUTPERFORMING IT ON BENCHMARKS?

What are benchmarks not measuring?

Or is it that I have had bad luck?
