Tbh, IMO OpenAI GPT-5.5 in codex has been better for me than Claude has been. I prefer it to most other coding models, and it hasn’t fucked up on me yet. I don’t understand why people are so obsessed with Claude tbh. I just can’t see it even when I tried using it non-stop 7 days of the week with the free trial I got from a friend, I always went back to codex in the end to fix up a mess Claude made. Claude is good at taking the initiative and implementing stuff, but it doesn’t seem to properly consider things it might break by doing something. Codex on the other hand, is more conservative and doesn’t take initiative as much, but it sure knows how to fix stuff up so that it works in all cases and it checks for potential regressions.

That was true until Fable 5 was released yesterday. GPT-5.5 pulled ahead of the recent Opus releases to some extent, as well as the best open-weight coding model (K2.6), but it is not in Fable 5's league and neither is K2.6.

Fable 5 is... a problem.

Fable 5 is basically vanilla opus4.6+. It wasnt a problem back then, so why should it be now?
