The problem is Anthropic doesn't have the compute to deploy this model to scale to everyone yet. Dario didn't believe that they needed as much compute, OpenAI is going to have much more compute unlocked this year and especially next year.

This is the real reason it's not out.

Great to see they were able to spin their lack of resources and money losing business model into an abundance of benevolence and concern for the proletariat.

Let’s say the model is indeed groundbreaking but needs much more compute that they have, I wonder would merging Anthropic and OpenAI be on the table.

It depends. If Mythos is AGI then OpenAI's charter says they have to merge with the winner.

And I have a bridge to sell you...

There is obviously tons of leeway it who gets to say what is "AGI", and so far it seems like OpenAI's charter isn't worth the paper it's printed on. I still find it funny that Altman and Amodei couldn't even bring themselves to hold hands at that AI summit, https://www.reddit.com/r/ClaudeAI/comments/1r8ua2j/sam_altma... , so I'm getting a chuckle at the thought that Altman would be like "Whelp, close er up, boys, Amodei won, so time to merge..."

On the efficiency side, why do we need 10 companies doing the same thing. "Don't Repeat Yourself" principle would agree with your proposal.

So? They could basically open up an auction for bidding on compute with mythos.. that’s what you do with a scarce resource. I’m sure many large enterprises would be willing to pay a lot to have first dibs.

There’s a whole lot of traffic they are servicing that comes at a cost with no revenue in return. Why would you choose to forgo potential revenue for this?
