    I would just LOVE to see all the behind-the-scenes shithousery both companies are employing to one-up the other in this, largely, 2-horse AGI race. Someone should make a mockumentary when all is said and done!

      I think it's weirdly just a choice of deciding to cut releases.

      We already know OpenAI has "bel" that is MUCH better than astra and is being used internally

        You're just believing their own bullshit. There's no indication that this is true except from claims from people working at OpenAI.

        If they really had a much more powerful model, it would make absolutely no sense to sit on it.

          You don't think having a more intelligent model they can use internally that others can't is an advantage?

            No? The top of human engineers are much better than any model would be, so AI models really aren't a big advantage when you're trying to develop anything that is SOTA.

              Not every problem is best addressed by a top engineer.

              Plenty of the tasks that keep a company running can benefit from good-enough (and better than the competition).

                Yes, and none of those tasks require even the current SOTA models.

              You can't fathom how 'top human engineers' could take advantage of exclusive access to a frontier model at ultrafast speeds and limitless token budgets to conduct research?

                I have all that and LLMs invariably produce garbage, so, no.
