Keep getting these …

Which of GPT-5.6, Grok 4.5, Fable 5, or Muse Spark 1.1 is least politically biased? Fable 5 is a large improvement over Opus, Grok 4.5 skews rightward, and Muse Spark 1.1 is state of the art.

@thsottiaux @ajambrosino You guys and gals rock!

"That is what other people think of you to keep you down. There's no failure. If you were left on an island and it happened, you would just brush it off and move on. It's everybody else that you think is judging you. But then, here's the secret. They don't give a fuck about you. They are living their own lives. So it's your perception of what they think of you."

"There is no failure. There's do and learn. Do and learn. Do and learn. Do and learn."

1st impression sol is doing things on my behalf I previously struggled to coach 5.5 to do without prompt. Already had a couple ohh that’s smart moments to myself

[Joe Ward @BoxCarLabs]

@dog_rates Love this

[Joe Ward @BoxCarLabs]

@JamesZmSun That’s a bummer I was enjoying the experience

[Joe Ward @BoxCarLabs]

@bryan_johnson Hope it all works out well & the post helps others

[OpenAI Developers @OpenAIDevs]

GPT-5.6 comes in three model tiers.

→ Sol handles long-horizon coding and agentic work that demands planning, tool use, and follow-through.
→ Terra balances performance and cost for everyday work.
→ Luna brings speed to well-defined, high-volume work.

Across knowledge-work evaluations, GPT-5.6 Terra surpasses GPT-5.5 at lower cost, while GPT-5.6 Luna nearly matches GPT-5.5’s peak performance at well under half the estimated API cost.
