- Praise: 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.
- Praise: Model 2 is reported to be a noticeable improvement over Mythos 5, suggesting incremental progress in AI capabilities that could benefit internal tasks.
- Concern: Critics point out that claiming only modest productivity gains from AI in R&D raises eyebrows — is this really the best we can do?
- Concern: There's skepticism about the actual capabilities of new models like Mythos, with some claiming recent releases have been lackluster and unverifiable.
- Concern: Commenters express concern that the lack of significant improvements between models indicates potential stagnation, especially with competitors closing in.
