@M1Astra I think there is a chance Capybara isnt the codename you can see in github this was used for opus 4.6 as the code name is capybara aswell. Do you think anthropic would use the same codename as opus for their top model? [image]

I think the new Mythos class of model from Anthropic, Spud from OpenAI (and maybe their shutdown of Sora to redirect compute) means we're not done with the bitter lesson just yet. Larger models continue to provide step changes in capability.

it's a “series of models” — an entire new series that's far stronger than even Opus 4.6, also much more expensive — seems like you'd use it like a CEO — delegate heavily to subagents. Maybe this is where agent organizations are truly born [embedded post]
