GPT-5.6 Math Performance Sparks Discussion

The author observed that gpt-5.6 performs exceptionally well on open-ended math problems, even "cracking many questions," whereas fable did not yield similar results.
They question whether this is due to OpenAI allocating more tokens or if the model inherently possesses stronger mathematical capabilities, ultimately raising the distinction between inference budget and raw model ability.
