OpenAI researcher: colleagues can't access Claude, so they don't realize how good it is

OpenAI researcher Will Depue says he worries OpenAI researchers don't know how good Claude is because they lack access to it and time for hard technical projects. His advice: take two days a month to build a personal project fully on a competitor's product — 'it explains a lot.' He adds bluntly: Claude is 'really much better.' A rare admission of a rival's strength from a frontier-lab insider.
