Social media post spreads misinformation about fictional AI models like 'GPT-5.6 Pro'
A social media post has gained attention by falsely claiming that non-existent AI models, such as 'GPT-5.6 Pro' and 'Fable 5 Ultracode', are superior to existing models like Anthropic's Claude. This highlights the ongoing spread of AI-related misinformation on social media, where users fabricate model names and performance metrics to generate engagement or confuse audiences. The post references fictional models like 'GPT-5.6 Sol Pro' and 'GPT-5.6 Sol Ultra', while also mentioning OpenAI Codex, an actual AI system designed for translating natural language to code.
## BACKGROUND
OpenAI Codex is an AI model developed by OpenAI that parses natural language and generates code in response, serving as the basis for tools like GitHub Copilot. In reality, OpenAI's current flagship models belong to the GPT-4 and o1 series, and no 'GPT-5' or 'GPT-5.6' models have been officially released.
