Anthropic says it deliberately capped Model 3's AI-accelerating research capabilities

- Anthropic disclosed it "took steps to limit advances in the specific research capabilities that could most directly accelerate AI development" in its new model.
- Dimitris Papail frames a structural tension: pretraining strong models is increasingly within reach, strongly correlated with the growing pool of high-quality synthetic tokens — GitHub went from 1B commits in all of 2025 to 275M per week by April 2026, most likely from Claude Code/Codex.
- Frontier labs must serve tokens at scale to pay back capex, but the more they serve, the more their edge leaks into the web for competitors — hence deliberate capability limits.
