OpenAI's aggressive compute bet may explain why stronger models are held back
haider1 · x · 2026-08-17
haider1 argues OpenAI has invested far more aggressively in compute, which may explain why stronger models haven't shipped yet — the models are ready, waiting for serving infrastructure to catch up. He speculates that if Astra launches this month at 5–10T parameters, OpenAI could still serve it cheaper and better than Anthropic serves Mythos 5.
