Fable 5.5 rumored to launch tomorrow with stronger reasoning and root-cause fixes

- Daniel Miessler amplified danielmac8's rumor thread claiming Fable 5.5 likely ships tomorrow: better reasoning and intuition, infers intent instead of following instructions literally, fixes deeper root causes when asked to fix a bug, and shows creative out-of-the-box thinking (with some clearly tongue-in-cheek claims like inventing stock-predicting algorithms).
- He adds a major efficiency gain similar to Opus 5.5 is likely, and argues OpenAI's real counter would be removing Fable's dedicated usage limit so it works like Opus does today — ideally while raising limits to kill "Fable Stress" entirely.
