> We already know OpenAI has "bel" that is MUCH better than astra and is being used internally

I mean, isn't it almost a guarantee that what we get is a gimped version of what they use internally? They probably already serve themselves next gen level models at 1k+ tps from cerebras machines hosted on perm while we get quantized astra/opus at 50tps on a good day

You're just believing their own bullshit. There's no indication that this is true except from claims from people working at OpenAI.

If they really had a much more powerful model, it would make absolutely no sense to sit on it.

Any strong enough model with weak enough safeguards can cause an AI Chernobyl event that will make people and governments against AI development and deployment, just like Chernobyl did for nuclear energy.
