Adam Karvonen observes that almost no one notices a useful improvement in Fable 5.2, calling it evidence against a near-term foom: gains on well-specified tasks may not fix messier real-world bottlenecks. He contrasts TheZvi's note that many say 'Opus 5.5 already does everything I want' while nobody says that about Sol/Astra/Gemini.
