Sounds like GPT-5.6 will be this week. If I were OpenAI, I wouldn’t overhype this. Let it speak for itself. With Mythos and Fable, the hype is exhausting.

Quoted text finally looks right

github.com/scripting/rss.chat/blob/main/client/code/worknotes.md

Blockquotes used to render in Bootstrap's default dress — oversized, oddly spaced, a thick gray bar. Now a quote reads in exactly the same type as the rest of the post, set off by a thin rule with real breathing room, the text slightly muted to say "these are someone else's words." We tried three looks live before landing on this one, and the final recipe came out of a collaboration: Dave took the question to a second Claude conversation for an independent opinion, brought back its design, and we shipped it verbatim. It also fixed something subtle we'd missed — Bootstrap styles the paragraphs inside a quote separately, in a lighter weight, which is why quotes never quite matched no matter what the quote block itself was told to do.
