GPT 5.6 Invalidates the Moat Narrative

The author argues that GPT 5.6 proves once again that there are "no true moats" in the current AI landscape:
- People were previously amazed by Anthropic's Mythos, assuming the gap would widen, but GPT 5.6 has now reached a comparable level and is even more efficient.
- They attribute this to two factors: there are no "secret recipes" in the industry, and everyone knows the current technical path; meanwhile, researchers and engineering talent move frequently between labs.
- The post concludes by noting that this doesn't even account for the disputes between Apple and OpenAI.
