Account teortaxesTex relays an anonymous leaker's alleged explanation for labs' recent pivot to "pacing the frontier" and sudden indifference to the race with China:

- "This new scaling axis is something that China can inherently not do"
The poster himself is skeptical that people take it seriously; unverified rumor.
