Imagine Anthropic dropping Opus 5.2 today, when OpenAI was supposed to drop GPT 6 Sol. Allowing Claude subscribers to use 100% of their quota for a Fable 5 tier model, but cheaper. All that when Codex users run out of usage limits on Astra in one afternoon, because OpenAI overbooked their servers. And that's even before we touch Grok 4.7.
