Blogger: frontier models are quietly internalizing human expertise, absorbing popular skills natively
xiaohu · x · 2026-09-24
The author argues Opus 5.5 feels like it has 'learned' community-built skills: models are implicitly absorbing internalized human experience, behaving more naturally and understanding users without elaborate prompts. He also notes models' skill/tool use has improved dramatically, with popular third-party skills (e.g. video skills) being covered by native model capabilities. This is personal observation, not official.
