Ship Grok 5×8 white/IDS packing and universal IDS/factsheet plumbing while
keeping DEFAULT_MODEL_BASES Fable-only: live pure-image Grok is not
Fable-level; image+factsheet is the working exact path.
Chart shows Grok as a text-window series only (no Grok+pxpipe overlay) and
Fable as the measured pxpipe density point. Add Codex-path quality harnesses
and receipts (multi-seed, fix-matrix, shipped smoke).
Plot characters-held per frontier context window, 2018-2026, ending at
the same Fable 5 1M window read through pxpipe images: a measured ~18M
chars vs the ~4M ceiling every text line converges on.
The chart is generated, not drawn: gen-context-chart.ts measures
chars/vision-token from a live pipeline render at generation time and
derives the 4.6x multiplier from that, so the claim regenerates with
the code it describes. Historical points carry their sourcing as code
comments — including the two a reviewer would check: Gemini 1.5 Pro is
plotted at its June 2024 2M peak (the line honestly dips to 2.5 Pro's
1M), and Sonnet 4 [1m] appears as Anthropic's first 1M window so the
Claude line doesn't imply Fable 5 was first.
- README: Fable clip as headline demo (Drive link + committed thumb),
verified numbers from the recording: plain $42.21 / 96% context vs
pxpipe $4.51; honest caveat on single-reply format compliance
- ATTEMPTS.md: attempt 1 (invalid run, model-switch pitfall) and
attempt 2 (legibility PASS on fable, format miss documented)
- a.sh/b.sh: prompt fix — numbering starts at filler-000
Demo clip moved to Google Drive (committed copy was too low-res); README keeps the preview thumbnail linking to the Drive video. Restoring the thumbnail also un-breaks the demo image on the npm 0.3.0 page. Version 0.3.0 -> 0.3.1 + CHANGELOG.
Attach the recorded plain-vs-pxpipe demo (cost-ab fix + effective-context recall) plus a poster thumbnail, embedded in a new Demo section with an honest caption (Opus opt-in; demo 2 shows pxpipe surfacing the lossy-count limit rather than fabricating). Fable headline clip to follow when Fable is back.
