Kalomaze on algorithmic secrets: Anthropic lacks multimodal 'secret sauce'
kalomaze · x · 2026-08-26
Kalomaze responded to questions about whether Neolabs could leapfrog OpenAI and Anthropic via algorithmic breakthroughs. He argues that while it's absolutely possible in a substantial but scope-limited way—citing Anthropic's lack of a claimed 'secret sauce' in multimodality—it is less likely generically. This is because he doubts 'algo breakthroughs' can be kept secret in the long term.
