GPT-5.6 Nears Senior Employee Level
nptacek · x · 2026-07-19
Reports suggest that GPT-5.6 is reaching the level of "a seasoned office veteran who knows exactly how to handle things."
The original post notes that it isn't quite there yet, but if you look closely, it's clearly heading in that direction. It also mentions that Fable hasn't reached this stage yet, though it's visibly trying to catch up.
