alt Hacker News> It's the near-concurrent release of the same jump in capability that I find suspicious; not the fact that labs can catch up eventually.
What are suspicious of? If the timing is similar maybe just everyone already are of similar capabilities and got there at a similar time?
> Anyone else find it weird how within 2 months of Fable releasing all the major labs suddenly had Fable-level models?
It means Anthropic had no real moat and no real lead. Is that weird to you?
Well, Opus 5 and Fable are the only models I don’t constantly swear at and call stupid, which seems like a pretty good moat to me.
My guess is all the commenters (you are the 4th person I’ve seen say this) saying ‘Anthropic has no moat’ haven’t actually used Fable or even Opus 5 yet. Sol is laughable by comparison, and Grok… lol.
