Summary
GPT 5.6 and competing models like Fable and Luna signal the end of the single-model era, as it becomes more cost-effective to 'staff' multiple specialized models (manager, worker, intern) rather than relying on one all-purpose model.

I still don’t think people understand what just happened with GPT 5.6.
Everyone is arguing about whether it beats Fable 5 and missing what actually died last week: the single-model era. The whole idea of one model doing all your work is over.
Because for the first time, the math works. GPT 5.6 Sol ships code at half of Fable’s price. Luna grinds through the small stuff for pennies. And Fable stays exactly where it belongs, planning the build and reviewing the diff like a staff engineer.
One model was always a compromise. You were paying your smartest model’s rate for work it was overqualified to do.
Now you don’t pick a model. You staff them: a manager, a worker, an intern. Same output, a fraction of the bill.
My honest take: picking a favorite model is fandom. Staffing them is business.

GPT 5.6 is a family of three tiers (Sol, Terra, Luna) priced significantly lower than competing models like Claude's Fable 5, achieving top scores on coding benchmarks but falling short on ambiguous, high-complexity tasks where Fable excels, suggesting a role-based division where Fable serves as a manager and Sol as a senior worker.
