Hesamation · x · 2026-10-29
Hesamation tallies what Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google shipped in the six weeks since Dario Amodei called for frontier AI 'pacing': Anthropic released Opus 5.5, Sonnet 5.5, and Haiku 5.5; OpenAI shipped GPT-6 Sol, Luna, 6.1 Sol, and 6.1 Terra; Google put out Gemini 4 Argon and Carbon — nine models total. An attached press report notes the CEOs said they wanted to curb AI's rapid progress, yet there's little sign of deceleration.
