> Fable 5.2 and Mythos 5.2 are a step above Opus 5.5 in almost all the capabilities we evaluated.

A step above the original Opus 5.5 or the nerfed one https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=50422069 ?

This is like selling you "Milk fresh from the cow" but as you need to sell the "Even Fresher Milk fresh from the cow" you start selling slightly worst and worst milk so the new one is REALLY BETTER... like the one before before being nerfed....

This is why open models are needed... the same freaking Qwen3.8 27B works just as 2 or 3 months ago... never auto nerfs... I should pay 100... 90... then 80$ and when they release the new model I go back to pay 100$...

This is basically scammign...

I knew it! Anthropic always does the same thing. A week ago I went "uh oh, Fable 5.5 is dropping soon!"... close enough.
