It matches the Fable 5.2 model ID in the system prompt.\n\n- Model picker: the `\/model` picker now groups less common options behind a 'More models' row you can expand or collapse. With screen-reader mode on, the row is announced as 'More models, expanded' or 'More models, collapsed'. This replaces a separate 'more models' toggle.\n\n- Highlighting: the `Fable 5.2` label is the one shown in the Claude colour.\n\n- Fast-mode note: the line about fast mode is shortened to 'Switching models can turn it off.' It used to say 'Switching to other models turns off fast mode.'\n\n**Why**\n\nYou can pick Fable 5.2 by its short name or find it highlighted in `\/model`, while rarely used models stay out of the way until you open the 'More models' row.\n\n- Area: Models\n- Names: `fable52`\n- Tier: Use it now\n- Useful: 5\/5\n- Signal: 3\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
