Analyst: Fable is Too Costly and Restricted, OpenAI Q3 Numbers Will Show It
robleclerc · x · 2026-08-24
Rob Leclerc offers a counter-interpretation of market sentiment, arguing that Fable's struggles should not be read as an indictment of frontier models.
- Core Argument: The main issue is that Fable is too expensive and too restricted relative to GPT 5.6, not a failure of the models themselves.
- Market Prediction: This dynamic will be reflected in OpenAI's Q3 numbers.
- Outlook: Suggests that the upcoming "Astra" will change the game.
