    > 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.

      Translation: our models are getting shittier each iteration and we ran out of ideas. Let's invent scary stories and hope investors will lap it up.

      Idiotic.

        They’re out here solving previously-unsolved math problems. Famous scientists and mathematicians are speaking about their awe and worry. It feels a bit like you’re burying your head in the sand.

          I am pretty sure they had solutions in their training data. LLMs only predict the next token.
