Gemini not beating the "can't release a model" allegations
They're just following the current AI marketing playbook. "Our new model is simply too dangerous to release to the public right away" is now standard practice.
They even gave their model a random nonsensical name suffix simply because OpenAI is now doing it, too. Monkey see, monkey do.
Opus 5.5 and Sol 6.1, literally state of the art (in their respective class), were just released without any prior announcement. This has pure and simple become a Google thing.
OpenAI said they dropped Astra 6.1 over safety concerns: <a href="https://www.wsj.com/tech/ai/openai-chatgpt-model-release-cancel-safety-5a2f9f42" rel="nofollow">https://www.wsj.com/tech/ai/openai-chatgpt-model-release-can...
I don't read that as the same category: There was no announcement, no benchmarks, no limited release and not even any indication what happens with the model. The model failed internal safety standards. Might be scrapped entirely.
