That's exactly why Dario is begging the government to ban competitors.
replyUnfortunately for him, his main competitors don’t fall under the jurisdiction of his government.
replyAccess and use of it does.
replyNo, it doesn't
replyYou really think the US government can't ban Chinese models??
replyAll they'll need is hundreds of billions of dollars, more RAM and GPUs than are currently available, and a huge number of environment destroying data centers. We're sure to be spoiled for choice!

replyOpenAI is the only real competition. Chinese models are 6-8 months behind Opus 4.8/GPT 5.5, and at least a year or more behind Mythos.
replyAnd it doesn't look like OpenAI will have a good answer to Mythos anytime soon. Based on what their chief scientist wrote to staff recently (https://archive.is/fN2pg), GPT 5.6 is a "meaningful improvement" over 5.5 - in other words, just a normal version bump. And no news or even rumors regarding GPT 6.
