NYC AI Dinner Leaks: Fable 5.5 Stunning, OpenAI "Bel" To Surpass In December
haider1 · x · 2026-10-10
Intel from a NYC AI dinner: a Google employee claims Anthropic's Fable 5.5 will be "stunning" but OpenAI's rumored "bel" model will surpass it by December; Anthropic reportedly plans a November IPO. Other takeaways: perf engineers now mostly manage agents and RSI loops (most inference-provider optimizations found by agents), over-RL on code/math hurts language quality, Cursor's acquisition by xAI impressed attendees, and most people run PR-writing agents 24/7 while code review is no longer very productive. All rumors, unverified.
