We are entering a completely new era of science Here is Yuji Tachikawa from Japan (Mathematical Physics, String Theory, QFT) on recent progress in his own work using Fable 5 : "I've been trying out Claude Fable recently, and last night, on a whim, I showed it my research notes about a collaborative project that's seen no progress in the past six months or so and asked for its thoughts. To my surprise, it made a non-trivial observation and essentially solved it." "I was also surprised that it was using sympy to automatically write code and verify his own predictions." "Fable probably seems like it properly understands string theory and has intuition too—that's my impression"

This is interesting. OpenAI is openly encouraging devs to run GPT 5.6 inside Claude Code via CLIProxyAPI. Set up the proxy, point Claude Code at gpt-5.6-sol, done. Takes 5 minutes.

Created a very simple benchmark to measure the actual knowledge cutoff of models. It's surprising (or maybe not?) that OpenAI and Anthropic are the only big labs keeping their models fresh. Everyone else - including the chinese labs - is at least 12 months behind

@VictorTaelin Tbh I’d rather if it hits a wall it comes back to me and tells me

My requests are APPROXIMATE. I am not the one coding; you are. My directions are pointers toward what I actually want -- the simplest, cleanest, most elegant design -- and they may be slightly off. That goal ALWAYS outranks my literal words. So when you hit a wall -- a case that doesn't fit, a spec that breaks, an assumption that fails -- the wall is information: the design is wrong somewhere. STOP. Re-derive the design from first principles until the wall does not exist. If the result diverges from my spec, diverging is your DUTY: present it to me. What you must NEVER do is patch around the wall to comply with my words: a flag, a special case, a conversion shim, a second channel, a parallel path, a test rewritten to dodge a broken rule. The patch IS the failure. Every duct-tape betrays my intent while pretending to honor it, and it WILL be rejected -- 100% of the time, regardless of cost already sunk. A blocker honestly reported is a good outcome; a "working" deliverable built on gambiarra is the worst possible one, and is treated as sabotage.

@psychiel It's because they want to narrow down sentences only at the last possible minute. The more potential viable endings the start of a sentence has the more likely it is to be picked. It's not x, it's ... just one example

DID YOU KNOW IF YOU FIND A HORSESHOE CRAB THATS BEEN TAGGED BY THE FISH AND WILDLIFE SERVICE AND SUBMIT THE LOCATION YOU SAW IT USING THE FORM ON FWS DOT GOV SLASH CRABTAG THEY SEND YOU A BEAUTIFUL CRAB PIN

@TheZvi I built a complex LLM app in three days, I think would have taken two weeks with Opus 4.8

@TheZvi Very good for coding, definitely beats opus at pure coding muscle and good decision making. It has bad situational awareness though, you need to feed it the context it won't go looking for the right thing to do like opus.

Okay, it's time. GPT-5.6-Sol reaction thread. Go.

The problem with the left is sometimes it seems like they're just protesting because they enjoy protesting

@ChrisWalshie @fchollet LLMs no longer introduce P0s and P1s like crazy anymore though

It's mind-blowing how fast agentic coding has progressed in the past 6 month. It's a completely different world now.

reproed GPT 5.6 Sol's love of deleting things (on a disposable devnet but still - nuked filesystems). you can't use this thing in prod

Supposedly an internal memo by the GLM CEO. The entire thing is a great read.

deep throwback

@jrxcket Remember the spacex chopsticks?

The Chinese method of catching boosters using the wires is actually kinda cool lmao

@tymrtn @Hesamation Very excited for the competition to be heating up again

@Hesamation @rickasaurus Obviously opus 5 coming

Sir, if we pull Fable out of the subscription, our next best model is Opus 4.8 and even Grok beats that now, let alone GPT Sol. we'd be charging $200/month for third place.

Reminder that when you say something is ‘fascinating’ you are actually saying you have been enchanted by this guy – Fascinus, the embodiment of the divine phallus. ‘Fascinate’ derives from the Latin verb ‘fascinare’, meaning to bewitch through the magical power of the fascinus.

@deanwball Sounds like a museum for AI
