> As a non-US citizen Opus 4.8 is the best American LLM I will ever have access to.

Codex-5.5 > Opus 4.8, so that's not true.

Where does 5.5 beat Opus 4.8?

Reviews for one. It's reviews are phenomenal.

Yes and no. The hot moment I tried Fable that thing gave reviews so good I was already considering automation to cut a review for every PR in the company. Its coding abilities though were not that good.

GPT 5.5 is by far the best coding model.

This is just not true. Especially for frontend development. But I've compared them very recently one to one and Opus wins every time.

Some people have been saying that 5.5 is on par with Fable and it's just nonsense.
