My expectation were low but holy crap they really did get caught off guard by Anthropic.

A Reddit user expressed significant disappointment with OpenAI, stating that the company was caught off guard by Anthropic. The user likened OpenAI's performance to a "generational Atlanta Hawks Falcons level fumble," particularly in the coding domain. This perceived misstep has led the user to believe that OpenAI has conceded ground to Anthropic until its next release cycle, even before the Fable 5.5 launch, resulting in an "easy cancellation" for them.
