    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.

          Have we honestly seen that great a leap in the last 6 months, or just better application of what we had 6 months before that.

          We are seeing multiple frontier models dropping on the same day and no one bats an eye, because it's more of the same.

            Statements like these remind me how much each of us are in our own unique information bubbles. People seemed very excited about analysing the differences of each model on my feeds.

            Have you used recent ones on any large projects or coding issues? They've improved tremendously lately.
