Leaked Gemini 4 Carbon vs Fable 5.5 pelican test shows diverging realism styles
teortaxesTex · x · 2026-11-01
A side-by-side of the classic pelican-on-a-bicycle test allegedly shows two unannounced image models in grey testing: Fable 5.5 goes full photorealism ("absurdly high quality") while Gemini 4 Carbon doubles down on detailed cartoon rendering. Commenter teortaxesTex argues the realism choice is itself a signal — the model behaves as an author, not an agent — "which may be scary." Both models are unannounced; treat as unverified leaks.
