Fable 5.5 Video Generation Impresses in Gray-Scale Test
Understand the event
Fable 5.5, an unreleased model that an author appears to have encountered in gray-scale testing, generated a video from pure code that impressed commenters, though Baoyu said on X that the gain is limited for ordinary users and that he would rather see other capabilities improve. The test used the prompt "Where did @karpathy go in 2026?" with web search and memory turned off. Chetaslua, whose post Baoyu quoted, called the result "pure code" that was "one-shotted" and said it looked more beautiful than AI video models. That is a promotional claim about the output, not a confirmed measure of quality. Baoyu's assessment is narrower: he said Fable 5.5's video capability has improved further and is genuinely strong for being achieved with pure code, but he framed the benefit to ordinary users as limited.

- Baoyu Says Fable 5.5's Video Capability Improves but Offers Limited Gains for Ordinary Users
Fable 5.5's video capability has improved further; it really is strong, achieving this level with pure code. But for ordinary people this capability boost is limited, and I'm more looking forward to improvements in other areas. https://t.co/7nC4va0XJ7 Quoted post by @chetaslua: Fable 5.5, it's over for video and image models 🤯 THIS IS PURE CODE, one-shotted this video, holy shit, how is this more beautiful than AI video models. Two ways to check this yourself: Ask: "Where did @karpathy go in 2026?" with web search and memory turned off. Only the new https://t.co/HoS19Ihm4A
