Our verdict

Fable 5 leads on long-horizon autonomous agents, frontier reasoning and coding, and now ships generally available. GPT-5.5 keeps the multimodal edge (native audio and video) that Fable 5 does not match, plus a more mature tool-calling ecosystem. For agentic coding and research, Fable 5; for voice-first multimodal products, GPT-5.5. Benchmark both on your real workload before committing.
