Is it though? Claude's reliability is now at an all-time low of 98.7%. It's not a stretch to think that large companies will have second doubts about about adopting claude for their production environments.

Waiting lists are a thing.

what? they already have, they aren't releasing mythos except to a limited pre-approved customer base who is practically begging them to take their money. they can do that for lower tier models and at this point they should.

Their rationale provided for that is safety-based, not infrastructure-based.
