kimmonismus · x · 2026-10-26
kimmonismus notes Anthropic is reportedly planning its IPO around November 9, and predicts the lab will likely release a new model (speculatively named Fable 5.5) the week before to maximize its valuation. OpenAI is expected to counter, though only a rumored Terra 6.1 is circulating so far. The model names are unverified speculation, but the IPO timing matches later reporting.
