Story Brief
In a post on X, developer @thdxr said GPT-5.6 had a "massive impact" on his team, to the point that they're using "5x the tokens" they used before. The striking part of the claim was why: he wrote that GPT-5.6 is "not even smarter than fable or anything," but "just so reliable and fun to use." A later quote-post from @steipete helped push the claim wider.
Hype? "Not even smarter than fable, but reliable and fun to use" is the most honest model review I've read all year! Let me try!
