My view of: Fable 5 vs GPT-5.6-Sol. They are not easy models to compare, these are my vibes - take them as you will.
My overall feel is that Fable is a 'wise owl' who is very thoughtful and very well spoken, GPT-5.6-Sol is like a rottweiler who will grab the problem by the throat and not let go until it is done.
In other words, Fable, is a fundamentally smarter model - even at low reasoning it can be very insightful and writes in a clear compelling way. GPT-5.6-Sol on the other hand is extremely diligent, I can give it a list of 8 things to do and you will be sure that they will be done.
Fable feels more arrogant to me, I was both to get it to build a new benchmark for me - 5.6 worked between 6 hours and 2 days (I tried several times) and it came up with very thoroughly tested, working benchmark. Fable came back within 40 minutes (twice) and the benchmark sounded smart, but was ultimately was 'vibe' based slop and since it was Fable's vibes that was doing the judging, it decided that it was good to go (it kept giving Fable 100% score btw).
Some thoughts by category:
UI & App building: Fable will still craft a better UI from scratch, the flow of the app would probably be a bit nicer. But I find that Fable often misses quite key things, which GPT-5.6-Sol doesn't. GPT's Frontend skills are big jump vs previous GPT models, but still not as great overall.
Writing: Fable is better hands down, Sol feels quite difficult to align to what I want to say or explain things to me simply. Though I think the 'Pro' model writes clearer.
Robustness & Reliability: This is where I think GPT-5.6-Sol wins for me hands down. Fable seems to do things of high quality, but I can never relax with it, it always misses something. With 5.6 this just almost never happens.
Other things where I liked GPT-5.6-Sol, but can't compare to Fable directly.
- Video editing is actually working now, it is not completely perfect, but with the right skill/guidance you can just give it 1h footage and it can give you a 5 min highlight clip no problem
- Computer use - getting really rather good, very usable
- Sub agents - it is very fluent at managing sub-agents and speaking to different threads, can help with some new workflows
- Adhering to existing code patterns - I love this, even without asking it would implement something in a way that aligns with you app - major problem for slop generation
- Research - I think it is getting quite a bit better, it still has some bad patterns (e.g being too tactical), but it feels like it is more steerable to be a good researcher
- Multi-day runs - the /goal feature is pretty insane with 5.6-Sol, you can run it for days if you wanted to and it does work. Useful to have another thread or /side to check up on it, but I have some great results with it
- Token efficiency - it is so much more token efficient and faster than 5.5, in reality it is now much faster than Fable too
On the downside, you can feel that Fable is naturally smarter, and I did have some baffling moments with 5.6 when I was getting it to make a fairly simple change in 8 turns - it seemed to get stuck in a dumb stream that was hard to get out of. So it is not AGI, don't get too carried away by the hype.
I have some phenomenal examples that I'm honestly blown away by that I'll share, but as a side anecdote, I have a kind of 'swear meter' which counts how often I'm rude to Codex. In GPT-5.5 era, the % was at around 4-5%, it dropped to 1-2% when I was testing GPT-5.6-Sol and it shot up to 7% when I went back to 5.5 - it was so shocking to go back to 5.5 and experience how much worse it was.
So is GPT-5.6-Sol better than Fable? On pure intelligence - no. But man, I missed it when I just wanted to get sh*t done. It is insanely capable workhorse that you can give any task to and just expect it to be done. No lectures or 'you are absolutely rightisms', nothing is beneath it, if it takes 2 days to do some dirty work, it will do it.
It feels like the first time in a while when we have quite different types of frontier intelligences that benchmark sort of similarly, but feel very different. If you can, you would be probably better off using both and iteratively finding what you'd use Fable or GPT-5.6-Sol for. Perhaps, something like - an architectural discussion with Fable, implementation with 5.6 and docs & comms with Fable.

Falls jemand wissen möchte, warum Klimaanlagen in Deutschland grad so massiv bekämpft und verteufelt werden - Einfach mal Grok fragen!
Was passiert mit dem deutschen Stromnetz, wenn die Hälfte aller Haushalte eine Klimaanlage mit 1000W je 10 Stunden betreibt?
Dann fragt mal mit ⅔ und ganz zum Schluß, wenn jeder Haushalt eine hätte, was dann mit dem Stromnetz passiert?
Fragt ruhig mit 1000W und 10 Stunden - wobei mein Gerät grad seit 5 Tagen im Dauerbetrieb ist.
Die Antwort ist klar:
Das deutsche Stromnetz ist für Winterspitzen ausgelegt - keinesfalls auch noch für Sommerspitzen - es würde unweigerlich zum Blackout führen! Das ist der wahre Grund, warum jetzt plötzlich alle die Teile verteufeln.
Deutschland kann es nicht!
Diejenigen, die Wärmepumpen und E-Autos als "heiligen Gral" benennen wissen genau, daß dieser ganze Mumpitz rein technisch garnicht umsetzbar ist, wenn es nichtmal für jeden Haushalt möglich ist, im Sommer eine Klimaanlage zu nutzen.
Hinzu kommt noch ein weiterer Aspekt: Wir haben nicht genügend Strom!
Hatte jeder Haushalt eine Klimaanlage 1000W/10h wären das 410 GWh zusätzlich an einem Tag - das sind 80% bis 85% des täglichen Strombedarfs! Und klingelts?
Technisch nicht möglich!
Was das für den Strompreis bedeuten würde, dürfte auch jedem klar sein - er würde exorbitant durch die Decke gehen.
Und so werden die "Experten" natürlich weiterhin die Klimaanlage dämonisieren und die Bauvorschriften weiterhin belasten, so daß ein Neubau unerschwinglich wird.
Kleiner Tip für alle AfDler: Sollten diese Irren weiterhin mit einem Verbot drohen - Klimaanlage kaufen🤔😉🤭
Am besten eine, mit der man auch heizen kann. Wäre dann mein Beitrag zum Ungehorsam.
