our team's first week of having both sol and fable the crazy thing is 30% of our cost was on fable

what the hell man alien technology

🚨 SCOOP(s): - GPT-5.6 will be the final model in the 5.x series. GPT-6 is slated to launch in about a month, earlier than expected, and possibly even later this month - GPT-6 will be based on a new, significantly larger pretrain (versus the ~4T 5.5/5.6 'Spud' base) - There is lots of excitement at OpenAI over this new base, which they believe will be much better able to compete with both Fable 5 and upcoming 5.1, targeting a similar release window. OpenAI initially intended to continue with Spud through GPT-6, but decided against it - On the topic of Fable 5.1, it is in the late stages of the pipeline at Anthropic and a release is expected "in the coming weeks" - On the other side of the globe, DeepSeek are preparing for an imminent launch of V4 GA, which seems likely to be on par with or better than GLM-5.2, and have begun work on a new, larger model that will compete with the upcoming 2.7T MiniMax Pro

A little while ago I shared this message with OpenAI on Slack: Cherished friends, colleagues, members of the staff! I’m graduating this month. There’s not a specific reason for me leaving, or a specific reason for why now. But it’s something I have been thinking of for a while and it feels right. The world is in on the secret now and it feels possible to work on the mission from outside the walls of a frontier lab. I joined OpenAI in 2017 as a 25-year-old intern. Computers could not yet talk or think. I’m 34 now, with a family and a two-year-old son, and computers can solve frontier science problems. This was a decade where centuries happened. The future of humanity depends on the choices we make together about AGI and superintelligence. Everything is at stake. But more importantly, everything is possible. We will soon be able to take shots on goal at the highest aspirations of our species. I believe we can get to a world where “meeting everyone’s basic needs” is not just a solved problem, but where we feel offended the bar was ever set that low. I believe we can get to a world of peace, unprecedented prosperity, and unimaginable possibilities, social and scientific. Whatever I do next, I will continue to work with you on making this vision real. If you were to go back nine years and tell me how it all turned out, I would be astonished to hear so much good news. Thank you for making it so special. Thank you for the privilege of working alongside you. The task of reaching out to everyone to thank individually is daunting because of how long the list is. Fortunately I’ll have a few weeks to do it. My last day will be the 24th. To safe AGI.

And we're back to feeling hopeless one hour later. First big jump from OpenAI in a while.

From what I've seen, GPT-5.6-sol will be comparable or stronger than Claude Fable 5 in agentic capabilities specifically, while being much cheaper What it will NOT be is smarter or more capable generally than Fable 5, and the jump from GPT-5.5 to 5.6 will not be as big as the jump from Opus to Fable

New experiment 🧪: transforming AI-generated backgrounds into playable game scenes... First step complete ✅- dynamically detecting walkable areas with a navmesh in realtime! Next step is to fix depth detection and occlusion to make the player appear behind foreground objects.
