alt Hacker NewsPeople keep asking OpenAI for a mode that's as good as Opus 5.5, and they release this instead. Interesting strategy. Let's see how it works out for them.

This release is interesting for enterprise at API rates.
At least unless the Terminal Bench 4.0 score is more indicative than the other ones, because that one shows it clearly worse than 6.1 Sol for both performance and cost.

Taking the benchmarks in the article at face value, this is ~on par with Opus 5.5 for ~1/4 the price!

I hate Opus 5.5, constant overreach and over-engineering for any project

They don't have anything competitive with Opus 5.5 yet. There is a supposed model in the works, "Bel" last time I paid attention to gossip, that is thought to be better, later this year. Allegedly Anthropic caught OpenAI off guard and / or their different training approaches ended up working better than anticipated.
My expectation is Fable 5.5 is next overall improvement, and my bet is OpenAI's "Bel" will be the next competitive one (or, their lack of safety culture will bite them/us in the process).
