   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)

         Is there anything that could happen that you wouldn't use as evidence that they are hitting a plateau?

         It just seems like these claims are constant and looking back the calls of 'plateau' between 2023 and 2025 were clearly false, why should we think it's different now?

            I am a lawyer not a coder, but for me the new models make the exact dumb mistakes they did in 2023. Everytime I come here I feel I'm in an alternate reality.

               You get no better result from Opus 5.5 than Opus 4.1?
