    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.

          its not done training, why would they release a model that hasn't finished training?

          besides, we know anthropic are sitting on models too

            Because clearly they have no problem with releasing newer versions of models even just a week apart.

            It is from your crystal ball or from other bullshit you heard from Anthropic employees on Twitter?

            We all know Anthropic had Mythos and Fable, and they turned out to be completely normal models, entirely in line with the capability of their predecessors.

            All they do is lie, and you're believing their lies.

              You can see how it is pure non-sequitur, right?

              Fable was absolutely not in line with capabilities of other models when released. For cybersec work it was much, much better.
