Reddit user predicts 27B model matching Fable in 5 months

A Reddit user predicts that an open-source 27B dense model will achieve capabilities comparable to a model the US government banned two weeks ago (referred to as 'Fable') within five months. The user points to historical precedent, noting that Qwen 3.6 27B surpassed frontier models from just five months earlier. The prediction has generated discussion in the r/LocalLLaMA community.
