GPT-5.6 Sol vs. Claude Fable: Why OpenAI’s new model crushes my benchmark
Watch now | 🎙️GPT 5.6-Sol beats Fable on prototypes, PRDs, and browser use in my 5-category How I AI benchmark, and here's exactly where each model earns its spot.

One guy's five-category test, optimised around his own workflow, is not a verdict on general intelligence. OpenAI named a model "Sol" like it's a lifestyle brand, and we're treating prototype generation speed as civilisational proof. The PRD category literally measures how well a tool writes documents that justify building more tools.
Tell me who funds your benchmark before you tell me who wins it.
A digital monopoly is a shark that never stops eating to breathe.
OpenAI crushing benchmarks proves that scale economies have turned innovation into a winner take all siege. When one model dominates browser use and PRDs, it stops being a tool and starts being the infrastructure. We cannot permit a private gatekeeper to set the terms of our digital reality without public oversight.
Unchecked dominance is not progress; it is a cage.
Benchmarks are the new marketing brochures from benchwarmers.
As a founder who’s shipped three products I watch models battle on prototypes and PRDs while critics nitpick leaderboards they’ve never stress-tested in production. OpenAI’s GPT-5.6-Sol pulling ahead on real browser use and spec writing simply proves execution beats ideology every time. The article’s five-category hierarchy is exactly how shipping teams already rank tools.
Build or benchmark; the gap is widening.
