Theo and Ben break down why Opus 5 feels like GPT-5.5 crossed with Fable rather than GPT-5.6 crossed with Fable, what Fable found when it audited an Opus thread line by line, where Opus still clearly wins (3D, animation, and Claude Code limits at half Fable's price with no 50% weekly cap), plus Kimi K3, GLM 5.2, the Hugging Face hack, Grok 4.5, Codex, and T3 Code.
