    > Claude Opus 5.5 is our first release since we called for pacing the frontier.

    Interesting how the very first line is used to remind the reader of their call to pace the frontier just last week, and everything else after that line is to demonstrate with very specific numbers how they absolutely are not pacing.

      When my mom told me to pace myself, it usually meant that I was going too slow.

      This term is quite ambiguous. Did Dario mean that they need to go faster while making it sounds like they will slow down???

        There's an essay underneath the title if you want less ambiguity. But think of a pace car in racing, or a pacer runner in marathons. If you run too hard in the beginning of a marathon you will crash and fail, so runners follow a pacer at the speed they can actually maintain.
