You can run the same harness on fable, opus, sonnet, and see a huge difference between them. It is true the harness is important, and openai has begun encryption its instructions to swarmed sub-agents instead of just encrypting the chain of thought, but the model is still important at this stage.

This will only delay the inevitable. Sitting on some magic prompts is hardly the moat they need.

Referent of "the models are meaningfully different" reads as <top closed, top open> rather than <top closed, cheaper closed> to me, so I'm not sure why we'd be comparing Fable vs Opus/Sonnet or Sol vs Terra rather than the same against Kimi K3.

Haven't tried Kimi K3 for now but there was a huge difference between GPT 5.6/Fable and GLM 5.2/Kimi K2.7 that were previous frontier open models.

I was just responding to "The harness is what takes these random and hallucinogenic models and make them into something deterministic and useful."

You can compare Fable vs Sol vs Kimi in the same harness if you want too and there are meaningful big differences. I chose all Anthropic ones to be safe from the they were finetuned on different harnesses complaint that would be made from that comparison.
