A repost notes a huge R&D compute gap between Anthropic and Zai, but says the benchmark gap is only about six months.
The author says that mismatch can be explained in three ways, implying that raw compute may not fully translate into benchmark leadership. The post frames it as a useful lens on how fast smaller labs can close perceived capability gaps.
