* Fable 5 only.
## Roadmap
Everything above is measured. Everything here is not. These are hypotheses, not
claims; they ship as numbers with an n or they get cut.
* **Sharper glyphs.** The 13/15 verbatim gap is partly font legibility, not just
the model. A per-char confusion matrix across render styles is paused mid-run
(`eval/glyph-matrix/`, resumes Jun 18); if a zero-cost style lowers read error,
the gate compresses harder at the same fidelity.
* **Effective context.** Dense text carries at ~3x fewer tokens as images. If
that holds in the live window and not just the bill, 1M tokens holds ~2x the
real content. Open question: can a task needing ~2M raw context run inside
Fable's 1M once the bulk is imaged?
* **Less active text, sharper model.** Long contexts degrade reasoning as they
fill. Imaging old bulk shrinks what the model actively reads while keeping it
reachable. Hypothesis: same information, smaller active context, better
long-task accuracy.
One bet: longer effective context and a sharper model on long tasks, from the
same Fable 5. Numbers or retraction, no hype between.
