A Reddit post untangles the "Fable 5.5 tomorrow" rumor. Confirmed: The Information (Oct 19) reported Anthropic is preparing a model with better reasoning and intuition that infers what you mean — no name or date given; a "Fable 5.5" entry briefly appeared in Azure's model catalog then was pulled, and leakers say partners already have access (TestingCatalog, Oct 17). The "tomorrow" claim traces to a random X post; the reporter says "coming weeks." Nothing official from Anthropic.
