Mixed

Positives

Anthropic's internal AI R&D is moving faster, showing that AI can enhance productivity even if not by a factor of 2 yet — it's a promising start.
Model 2 is reported to be a noticeable improvement over Mythos 5, suggesting incremental progress in AI capabilities that could benefit internal tasks.

Concerns

Critics point out that claiming only modest productivity gains from AI in R&D raises eyebrows — is this really the best we can do?
There's skepticism about the actual capabilities of new models like Mythos, with some claiming recent releases have been lackluster and unverifiable.
Commenters express concern that the lack of significant improvements between models indicates potential stagnation, especially with competitors closing in.
