Without citing benchmarks, are you able to tell me why Astra is better than Fable? Or how Opus 5.5 is better than 6.1 Sol?

A Reddit user questions whether humans can truly differentiate between new models like Astra and Fable, or Opus 5.5 and 6.1 Sol, without relying on benchmarks. They suggest that the baseline performance of these models has become so advanced that the distinctions are no longer obvious to the average observer. The user wonders if their inability to discern differences indicates a general trend or a personal failing.

This post highlights a growing sentiment that new AI models are becoming indistinguishable without benchmarks, unlike earlier generations where differences were more apparent.
