ChrisGPT · x · 2026-10-25

ChrisGPT argues OpenAI habitually holds frontier models internally until Anthropic catches up or surpasses it, then releases. Citing researchers he's talked to, he claims OpenAI has had a model better than GPT 6 for at least 1-2 months, and the gap between internal and public models is growing. He predicts Anthropic will drop multiple frontier models in Q4 and shift sentiment, while OpenAI leans on Bio/Lab gains. He questions whether the internal-to-public lag will keep widening. Unverified industry speculation.
