After seeing today’s ships, im worried about OpenAI. I know a lot can change in basically just a week in AI, but its worrying. Opus 5.5 is better than 6 Astra, while being worse class than Fable-Next, which will be even better. I dont want OpenAI to become cheap and fast models king, like Google. I hope they DevDay ships wont disappoint, and 6.1 Astra is cheaper + better than Opus 5.5/Fable 5.5
