oran_ge · x · 2026-09-30
Commentator orange on the latest model landscape: OpenAI released GPT 6.1 Sol with cache pricing cut 50%, yet capability still trails Anthropic. Sonnet 5.5 now outscores GPT 6.1 Astra, which itself is being withheld over safety concerns. The author mocks Anthropic's "safety first" stance telling rivals to slow down, and notes GLM 5.3 being criticized as "too fast, not safe enough" — a snapshot of the tension between safety narratives and racing.
