Mythos release drama is being compared to o1, with limited rollout and an open-source clone
nptacek · x · 2026-07-21
A commenter says the entire **Mythos** saga looks like a repeat of **o1**: - the lab reportedly said the model was **too expensive and too powerful to release**, - then shipped it in a **very limited** form, - and then an **open-source competitor** reproduced it. The poster frames this as another example of people over-reading release cycles and concluding that AI progress is over.
