Day 1 impressions of Fable 5.1:
- talks much more like a normal human now, less Claudish.
- web search still feels worse than GPT-5.6 Sol. It often misses the key things to search for.
- still much better than GPT models at frontend.
- my daily driver is now Kimi K3. We dogfood it heavily at Databricks, and you’d be surprised how good it is.
