5.5 yo, 4.5 yo and 2.5 yo have started included 9 month old in their imaginary play and the roles they give baby are hilarious
Bakery… baby is “the giant croissant”
Construction site… baby is “swishy wrecking ball”
Have kids.
opus 5.5 is cheaper to serve than opus 5 and since it can match or even beat fable at coding for less compute, more people are using the smaller model
if fable 5.5 is as good as rumored anthropic will serve even more users with less compute which should help ease its capacity constraints
opus 5.5 is the perfect combination of usage and quality
it has an amazing intelligence-to-cost ratio. sure it gets things wrong more often than fable would but the cost savings are worth it
fable 5.5 needs to be something truly special to justify the higher usage consumption
opus 5.5 and astra are good at different things
openai already seems ahead on cyber capabilities and the fact that 6.1 Astra was shelved over safety and alignment concerns makes me wonder just how capable its next models are getting
meanwhile anthropic gotten better at shipping frontier models safely while still moving faster than oai
Opus 5.5 seems to have quietly gotten worse.
On top of usage limits draining ridiculously fast, the quality of its outputs now seems to be dropping too.
I've been getting a lot of comments about this, and I've seen several other posts reporting the same thing. It's starting to look like a widespread issue.
My guess is that Anthropic has been tweaking the harness or checkpoint so much that they ended up breaking something along the way.
Fable 5.5 is not coming today guys
Anthropic has never released a new model after 11:30 PM IST yet
It's already past that window, and we still haven't heard anything
we probably won't see Fable 5.5 today
Fable 5.5 seems to be coming today
We have seen many signs so far and It's Tuesday it's an anthropic favorite day fable 5/5.1 dropped on a tuesday
Also Fable 5.5 was secretly routing behind opus 5.5 for last week and partners got early access
No wonder if it drops today or even tomorrow
