Unverified speculation: Opus 5.5 allegedly a 'diluted' Fable 5.5; stronger model too unusable to ship

Unverified speculation from X user haider: Opus 5.5 is likely a "diluted" version distilled from a Fable 5.5 model that hasn't shipped for similar reasons — vendors may have gotten Fable 5.2 on track, but Fable 5.5 could be far more capable while remaining too difficult to release or practically unusable despite its capabilities. Take it as圈内 rumor, not fact.
