A quoted reply predicted two likely shifts within the next 6 to 12 months:
- A model approaching Fable 5 levels but at 3 to 4 times lower cost.

The commenter believed both scenarios are highly probable and reminded everyone to factor these shifts into AI future predictions. The replier agreed, adding that multi-agent systems will inevitably become ubiquitous.
