A task that would have taken 1 to 2 years by hand was compressed to under two weeks.

The coding model landscape shifted hard this week. Anthropic's Fable is back, OpenAI released GPT-5.6 Sol, Cursor added Grok 4.5 at a lower price point, and Meta shipped Muse, its first competitive coding model since Llama 3. Notably absent from the top tier: Gemini. The original piece breaks down exactly where Google slipped and why that gap matters for developers choosing a daily driver.
