My Thoughts on Fable
What I want from a harness
TL;DR
- Fable is being used as a 'therapist/thinking partner' with Opus-like traits, not for building.
- The author is seeking an AI harness for creative thinking and brainstorming, not just a coding agent.
- GPT 5.6 is expected to be released soon, with potentially similar creative/thinking capabilities.
- Fable's availability through Claude subscriptions ends, requiring usage credits from tomorrow.
- OpenAI has reportedly cut inference costs in half and tested it on logged-out ChatGPT users.
- New OpenAI API model: GPT-Realtime-2.1-mini accepts video input and outputs audio with reasoning.
- Anthropic's research shows Claude uses a 'global workspace' for unconscious concept activation.
- Other mentioned tools include OpenScience, integrations.sh, Boring Computers, Chromeless, and PersonalOS.
