bindureddy · x · 2026-08-14
Based on hands-on experience, AI developer @bindureddy shared a new capability tier list for prominent large language models:
- Tier 0 (Standout): Fable 5 continues to blow every other model away, holding the top spot alone.
- Tier 1 (Top Tier): Sol and Opus sit one tier above the rest, demonstrating superior overall capabilities.
- Tier 2 (Highly Similar Class): Flash 3.7, Grok 4.6, Terra, Kimi, and Sonnet fall into this growing category. The author notes that Flash 3.7 simply joins a crowded field of highly similar models without breaking new ground.
