Referent of "the models are meaningfully different" reads as <top closed, top open> rather than <top closed, cheaper closed> to me, so I'm not sure why we'd be comparing Fable vs Opus/Sonnet or Sol vs Terra rather than the same against Kimi K3.

I was just responding to "The harness is what takes these random and hallucinogenic models and make them into something deterministic and useful."
You can compare Fable vs Sol vs Kimi in the same harness if you want too and there are meaningful big differences. I chose all Anthropic ones to be safe from the they were finetuned on different harnesses complaint that would be made from that comparison.
Haven't tried Kimi K3 for now but there was a huge difference between GPT 5.6/Fable and GLM 5.2/Kimi K2.7 that were previous frontier open models.
