Being first rarely matters in tech. Fast follow that’s “good enough” and cheaper eats “first” for lunch all day long, and that’s the pattern starting to play out.

They are not good enough.

Anecdotally, I was wrangling GPT 5.5 at work today, trying to get it to implement tests in the same style as a reference project.

I could hardly believe just how dumb GPT 5.5 Medium acted. It took around five turns to iron out the obvious errors and idiotic inventions.

I am curious to evaluate the same use case with Fable or 5.6 Sol, but my 'AI-first' employer only offers access to outdated models at a laughable budget.
