The funny thing about Fable, is we all but know it will be obsolete in a month or two. Between their embargo shenanigans (which IMO they could have avoided just by not pretending it was dangerous) and continuing to give access, whatever marginal advantage it had was essentially wasted.
It would have been an interesting experiment to charge more for it right away and see what the market would bear, rather than tease it for long enough for it to be presumably superseded any time now by whatever is next.
- Giefo6ah 3mo agoThey clearly didn't have the compute capacity ready to release Fable at any price that would have seemed "worth it".
- fc417fc802 3mo agoI don't see how that matters? It's a treadmill. Sure Fable-v1 will be obsolete but the shiny new Fable-v2 won't. Don't view their shenanigans as regarding Fable but rather their current cutting edge model.
- fragmede 3mo agoMythos was first publicly known via a leak at the end of March, 2026. Given that Fable is the public version of Mythos, six months gets us September for when the next big leap will happen.

- SV_BubbleTime 3mo ago>(which IMO they could have avoided just by not pretending it was dangerous) Best marketing in a long time though. They fucking called it Mythos and built mythical claims about it. I mean… really hats off to the PR team.
- ahoka 3mo agoMaybe they have secretly hired Kojima?
- zombot 3mo agoI suspect they were attempting to move it away from the open market into government contracts where they would have been able to charge more than what the open market would bear.
- dreamglider 3mo agoIt's not that better than Opus 5.8, IMHO (highly biased since personal) - no more than 10% positive difference for the same prompt, and that 10% is not consistent, sometimes you get obviously better response / nicely done task, sometime you don't.
