alt Hacker NewsInteresting how the prevalent opinion until yesterday seems to have been that OpenAI & Anthropic are irreversibly ahead and now with xAI and Meta at least delivered something that's competitive with useful models and cheap too. Granted, the narrative that the two leading labs are ahead still holds with Fable (and perhaps an upcoming GPT6), but it's not as over as common knowledge by the opinion leaders would have us believe.

Not the way you're implying?
The GLM 5.2 hype was blowing way before this. Neither xAI nor Meta have really made a difference in a different way - similar results / similar pricing (to GLM 5.2).
People misinterpreted Google being behind as Anthropic and OpenAi being really ahead, when it was really just Google falling behind the same way it did with Tensorflow, Angular and GCP.
