It would be the perfect time for OpenAI to release GPT-5.6 on July 7th, the same day *Fable 5* was removed from the subscription tier.
Within a single day, there would be a massive influx of new Pro subscribers using Codex.

@kimmonismus I have a theory, the US gov 'shut down' 5.6's release so openai can stall to make better adjustments on the benchmark, so that on paper they released it last week but because 'oh no its not us it's the government so we have to take a pause here'.

@kimmonismus Will that be the same day that Fable is re-enabled for subs? 😄

@PaulGugAI huh? wdym. it already is re-enabled for subscrition right now

@kimmonismus I literally dreamed about it

@kimmonismus Timing a drop right when your rival pulls a perk is the oldest playbook in tech.

@kimmonismus And ChatGPT. 🤩

@melmacro that you burnt through your rates in like 60 minutes? nightmare.

@kimmonismus starting to feel like they're all colluding together

@kimmonismus Interesting theory. If they paired a model drop with a subscription shakeup, the key would be making the Pro value obvious immediately, not just relying on FOMO.

@kimmonismus Do you think it would be less or more unpleasant than Sonnet 5 and less or more guardrailed than Fable?

@kimmonismus Polymarket says 7-8th of July (when Fable is out of sub)

@kimmonismus Would be a nightmare for OpenAI unless its outperforms fable, they’d have everyone complaining it couldn’t match the current champ

Dude there’s been so many predictions on when. I’ve heard yesterday, Tuesday, next Thursday.
Nobody knows and everyone not in claude’s ecosystem has fable fomo.
They’re holding onto the release for some marketing reason and it’s just as annoying as anthropic rereleasing fable 17 times

@kimmonismus the gap between limited preview and general availability is gonna feel very long for everyone who saw the terminalbench numbers last week

@kimmonismus If say perfect timing

@kimmonismus tbh perfect day was yesterday, next best is today

@kimmonismus No, it's going to be released on 4th of July for America Independence day, the model gets to breathe

@kimmonismus Isn’t it dropping off shortly? I meant after that.. and tounge-in-cheek.

@kimmonismus They are hardening guardrails after receiving feedback from govt, back and forth, until acceptable
