A user reports that Fable 5 autonomously analyzed a screen recording of their project, decided what content to keep based on context, and added text graphics and voice narration using another tool—all after a simple prompt and without further input. The user finds the capability far beyond what previous models like Opus could achieve.
Background
Fable 5 appears to be a new version of an AI-powered creative tool (likely for video editing, screen recording, or content production). The user is contrasting it with "Opus" — almost certainly referring to Opus Clip (or a related AI tool), which repurposes long videos into short social-media clips. The key claim is that Fable 5 autonomously watched a screen recording, decided what content to keep based on project context, and added graphics and narration without being explicitly instructed to do each step. This reflects the broader trend of AI agents (not just chatbots) that can observe, reason about, and act on visual/project context with minimal prompting.

Paul Graham speculates about future AI progress, imagining how advanced models might become in five years if they improve upon the current model Fable as much as Fable has improved upon GPT-3. The post quotes Jared Friedman praising Fable as "insanely good" and deserving of its hype.
Peter Gostev spent extensive time testing difficult 3D prompts at Fable and compiled a 45-minute video featuring over 60 demos, with prompts to be shared in a follow-up post.
