OpenAI needs to release GPT-6.1 Astra before Fable 5.5 drops... as Anthropic is already winning the usage war and Claude Code is leading coding agents, taking the majority of public agent commits and the top spot in developer surveys... Codex is growing but still well behind Fable 5.5 showed up in Azure’s catalog means release is imminent.. If Anthropic ships it first they take the week on top of the lead they already have OpenAI finished 6.1 Astra once and pulled it waiting now just hands them another win
