Can't wait for the Chinese models to completely wipe the floor with them in 6 months.
reply
Yeah I guess two companies who would otherwise be considered going for bankruptcy have models too expensive to run. As they don't see themselves making money any time soon, they have to turn every future model into a weird fascination.

As always, when the going get's tough, the tough ultimately resort to lawsuits.

think about it in the form of who can pay. theyre at b2b. and swiftly moving to government.

All that user data is a huge asset for government contracts.

Remember that they have been saying that since gpt2.

I didn't think crying could be such a successful business model.

reply
It's just "thinking past the sale" which they've been doing forever.

i.e. "I'm so worried that our capped for-profit structure will limit your returns when we make over 1 Trillion in profit".

These models demonstrably have good vulnerability research capabilities.

I'm sure their marketing department is ecstatic but you guys are far more hype-based than what you're calling out.

Good but not necessarily better that was is already pay-as-you-go available today. ref. https://www.flyingpenguin.com/the-boy-that-cried-mythos-veri...

I'm not entirely up to date on each week's LLM hype train/scandal but last I heard there was no public access to it or public-trusted 3rd parties that can review model's capabilities

reply
You are up to date. Mythos had unauthorized access because of poor security but that's it as far as I know. Not exactly a good sign for something being advertised as a weapon...
reply
It’s easy to end up with no public-trusted third parties if we arbitrarily distrust third parties who say the capabilities match what’s promised. Mozilla for example says it found hundreds of Firefox vulnerabilities, and I think it’s pretty unlikely they’re lying to cover Anthropic’s back.
reply
I think the question around the Firefox find, is not that they found hundreds of vulnerabilities - they found hundreds of bugs.

What would be really interesting is a side by side Claude Opus 4.7 and Mythos comparison.

reply
Marketing stunts. The equivalent of holding a line outside a popular bar.
reply
Given the USG has asked Anthropic not to release Mythos I'd wager it's more than a marketing stunt.
reply
It can be both and I don't know how much I would trust the USG as the canary in the coal mine given their technical readiness typically seems low across most institutions in that they are probably more exposed because they haven't shored up their systems.

It's like that phone call in The Big Short where Goldman suddenly change their mind once they hold a position.

AGI: Automatically Generating Income
reply
This is a surprisingly concrete and defensible definition of AGI.
reply
Is it defensible? It sounds like a thin disguise over "income for me but not for thee"?
