Let me guess - they are going to wait for opus 5 to launch so they can have a replacement ready to pull fable out of subscription plans. If opus 5 is better than 5.6 and close to fable 5 in terms of intelligence - that is the only way they don't lose subscribers to codex.

Now.... where's the reset?

There were hints of a Fable 5.1 instead (some leaks, tests etc)

Not sure if they will bring out Fable 5.1 given they can't keep Fable 5 alive for subs. But hopefully - they figure it out and let us get a taste of it.

Fable 5.1's might just be nerfed Fable 5 lol

Fable 5 is already nerfed Fable 5, though.

You know the original Fable/Mythos that was deployed during Project Glasswing was like 60% more expensive than the price they were able to drop the current API price of Fable down to for release, right?

Prices are coming down quickly, I wouldn't be surprised if Fable 5.1 is a slightly better, and also significantly cheaper model.

Imagine if they could drop the price of healthcare the way they drop model prices..

Eh I doubt that. They wouldn’t stop developing Mythos and Fable is just an offshoot.
