   Ominous for the industry and investors that token price is becoming the main battleground. Could be Anthropic's rationale for IPOing this year.

      Another piece of evidence on the pile that the sudden panic and desire to "slow down" is because they're hitting the plateau on capability

      Which, honestly, is fine. A lot of juice to squeeze in efficiency and even if models got zero more capable, making the capability that is already here cheaper is a huge win for everyone (except Nvidia)

         What universe do you live in that you can look at the past six months and see anything like a plateau in capability?

         Edit: removed a comment that was uncharitable and rude, for which I apologize.

            Not that they've hit it but that they are approaching it. The time to panic and steer the narrative is before you hit the iceberg, not after

               The whole "pace the frontier" thing originated from Anthropic.

               With Opus 5.5, it doesn't seem like model improvement is plateuaing. And Fable 5.5 will likely be dropped this or next week.

               You can only imagine what they've got going internally.
