Pacing the Frontier is not the actual goal for AI labs

    We already have a window into the future.

    - Anthropic told everyone Mythos was dangerous because it's proficiency with biologics and cyber security

    - Anthropic didn't release Mythos like everything else. They released a neutered fable. They didn't get rid of Mythos

    - Anthropic opens a lab in SF

    There was always a quesiton of "will the labs stop releasing their models and start building around them instead?" Yes - they already have. Anthropic is a biologic and cyber security company, in addition to intelligience.

    Personally I wonder if they've been holding back a lot. Opus 5.5 was a good release after a little stagnation. Open AI releases good models and everyone says Anthropic sucks and -- Oh would you look at that - a better model finally and all of a sudden.

      It's pretty frustrating to do cyber security work and not have access to the best models. OAI is a little more liberal here and I was able to get access to daybreak-blue but I have to use the lesser last-generation models. Essentially this gives a small number of orgs a huge advantage in the 'application layer' for that domain (including OAI or ANT themselves).
