'A $1M checkpoint can easily beat 5.6 Sol': insider chatter dismisses AI slowdown talk

teortaxesTex argues anyone expecting a slowdown is 'insane': a recent checkpoint could likely exceed 5.6 Sol easily with more RL, at a cost of maybe $1M (he asks @YouJiacheng to run the Blackwell math). He adds that 2S isn't in the same league — on par with or above V4.1 — and that 'Thinky's progress made him reassess some assumptions. Unverified insider speculation about frontier checkpoints.
