    > 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.

      “Pacing the frontier” sounds smarmy and weird, like the phrase was generated by Claude itself

        Hey, when i was in my twenties i told every girl that i was "pacing the frontier"... The right pace makes the denouement just that much sweeter.

          Smarmy and weird was probably just the vibe i was giving off. Incidentally, I've always found Claude easier to talk to than most people lol
