ChatGPT 5.6 vs Claude Fable 5: I Tested Both

I tested both on real work. One feels like a relentless operator. The other still feels like the person you call when the job itself is unclear.

Computer harness now supports Fable, Sol, Opus, Grok, GLM + advisor, Sonnet and GPT 5.5 as orchestrator models, with subagents across several other smaller LLMs and multimodal models. Easiest agentic orchestration system to onboard and use any frontier LLM! We’ll be adding local runtimes soon!

Very impressed with @SpaceXAI's Grok 4.5 model. Inside the Computer harness, it scored the highest on our internal benchmark WANDR, which measures agentic research capabilities, at half the price of Claude Opus 4.8 (high); and scores even better than our current GLM 5.2 post-trained model at approximately the same cost.

Top 10 AI Loops You Must Build

Simple loop design patterns for turning prompts into repeatable AI workflows you can use for research, coding, writing, reviews, and daily work

it's possible that when a fully local harness + model + runtime gets good enough, it becomes the best gateway for you to use the frontier models too, which end up becoming advisor tools inside that harness; the harness then ends up turning into an OS for using frontier tokens.

Very cool to see @netflix releasing video datasets and models on @huggingface. They have a strong video AI team and would be amazing to see them open-source more!

GPT 5.6 vs Claude Fable 5: The Best AI Model Across 6 Practical Use Cases

I tested both models for designing websites, building 3D games, publishing video clips, prototyping mobile app features, and more. Here's my verdict for each use case.

Adam Thierer had written the landmark book on "Permissionless Innovation." We get the best ideas when we don't have to ask the government in advance for permission to invent. Protecting open source AI is now a critical part of ensuring this.

We are hosting this model in B200s in the US, and will next run a post train of Nemotron 3 Ultra, to get the same capabilities out of American open source models. More soon!

Long term, we think the right way to orchestrate open source and frontier models is to post-train them to get good at advisor escalation to a frontier expensive model when necessary, inside an agent harness that’s already deployed in production to millions of users. Perplexity is uniquely positioned to solve this problem.
