Frontend Rebuild Test: Fable 5 Still Leads

The shared post tests whether GPT-5.6 Sol is better suited for frontend work than Fable 5:
- Task: Reconstruct a Three.js 3D globe dashboard using a single prompt + one reference image.
- Conclusion: Fable 5 still holds a slight edge, but since GPT-5.6 Sol costs only about half as much, it remains a "highly worthwhile" option.
This type of post acts more like a hands-on, side-by-side test of models in real-world frontend/coding workflows rather than just relying on standard model leaderboards.
