e/acc account taunts Anthropic's IPO prospects with a GPT-6 Astra knee joke
beffjezos · x · 2026-10-17
Replying to yacineMTB's question about how Anthropic's IPO is going, the e/acc account beffjezos quipped "It took an Astra to the knee"—a Skyrim-style jab riffing on GPT-6 Astra's name, implying OpenAI's strongest model (and its near-perfect SRE-Bench showing) has undermined Anthropic's moment.
Light on facts, but a notable bit of frontier-lab rivalry banter worth a fun mention.
