OpenAI and Anthropic stuck in a release standoff as both hold back their next models

kimmonismus notes there's still no sign of a new OpenAI model (no "GPT-6.2 Astra") and Anthropic is equally quiet, suggesting the two labs are waiting each other out — neither wants to move first, yet each aims to outdo the other.
He ties the stakes to Anthropic's potential IPO: it would need to outperform what OpenAI achieved before its own possible public offering, which may explain the unusual caution from both sides.
