Post reports one team's coding tests found OpenAI models beat Fable 5.2

According to a post on X by @leo_linsky, his team ran Fable 5.2 through 100 unsaturated coding and engineering environments and found that OpenAI's Astra, GPT 6.1-Sol and GPT 6.1-Terra found better solutions. The post says Fable 5.2 stopped to ask for human help when none was expected, got confused in the team's non-Claude Code harness, and sometimes exceeded its token limit. The author's opinion is that there is no reason to use it. The snippet is cut off, so the full methodology and results are not visible here.
