A Reddit user in the mechanical engineering field shared their experience using AI for oil platform hydraulics. They tested ChatGPT 5.6 (with 'High sun' mode) against Fable 5 (maximum mode) by providing two identical hydraulic diagrams and asking for analysis. The user emphasized that on oil platforms, any error could lead to serious or fatal accidents, so trust in AI is currently lacking. The post highlights the gap between AI capabilities in programming/creative tasks versus high-stakes engineering domains.

User benchmarks Fable 5, Sol, and xhigh models on strategic tasks

A user ran a role-based benchmark comparing Fable 5, Sol, and xhigh models on strategic decision memos, execution briefs, and bug repairs. Fable 5 scored 95 on a multi-layer productization decision, slightly ahead of Sol max (94) and xhigh (90). The benchmark is local and not a general intelligence test.
