They're not really losing ground to Anthropic. 5.5 was a bit better than 4.8. Fable was good, and was a jump over 4.8, but only incremental over 5.5.
Anthropic is also likely losing money, right?
I never get throttled by Codex at $20/mo however Claude throttles faster at same rate. I like Claude’s output in terms of code however
huh, I felt like (gpt5.5 < opus4.8 << fable) in terms of code quality, and (g ~= o < f) in terms of pure pass rate; which one did you mean? curious about your typical workflow/tasks
I want to like gpt5.5 but it's like an evil genie: bugs are fixed, features are implemented, you are now a proud owner of a 2kloc file with a single function that makes you wish you had keybindings for horizontal scrolling
According to Wash they are operationally profitable
