great work by the team. 4.3 pushes the pareto (+4pts on AA and +13 for the same size as 4.20 ~0.5T) w/ knowledge work and coding improvements. ps: larger models being assembled in model factory.

We beat Sonnet 4.6 with a 500B model. Bigger runs are on the way.

genuine question, why have a 500B total parameter flagship model when you have millions of H100s equivalent? i would expect them to train a bigger one first (once you have a stable training recipe ofc) and distill from it. a 500B training run is a matter of weeks at this scale
