It all sounds a bit too marketing-ey to me “we have this amazing model that is too good to release” but the goal is still AGI? Ok right.

What's incoherent about that?
The goal for anthropic is safe AGI. A) this model is dangerous in the hands of consumers. B)They do not want China to train on these models.
"Safe" for who?
Approximately "western liberal democracies"
For the ruling class. Cattle classes are not people in their eyes.
Drink that Anthropic coolade up!
The missing piece is the reminder that scarcity still exists.

Whether its actually scarcity or hype building or a bit of column a, bit of column b is TBD. Then again, the new models seem more expensive, they slashed the tokens thrown around in thinking, and put up limit speedbumps so it’s probably not all gaslighting about compute bottlenecks.
