Claude Opus 4.8 edges out Fable 5 in speed-focused LLM benchmark

A recent benchmark test compared several frontier cloud LLMs, with Anthropic's Claude Opus 4.8 narrowly outperforming Fable 5. Despite Fable 5 excelling in coding and reasoning tasks, Opus 4.8's superior speed across all benchmarks secured its win. GPT-5.5 showed strength in coding but was hampered by hitting token limits on a complex reasoning task, while Sonnet 4.6 emerged as a cost-effective option with strong reasoning capabilities. AI
