Because clearly they have no problem with releasing newer versions of models even just a week apart.
> besides, we know anthropic are sitting on models too
It is from your crystal ball or from other bullshit you heard from Anthropic employees on Twitter?
We all know Anthropic had Mythos and Fable, and they turned out to be completely normal models, entirely in line with the capability of their predecessors.
All they do is lie, and you're believing their lies.

You can see how it is pure non-sequitur, right?

Fable was absolutely not in line with capabilities of other models when released. For cybersec work it was much, much better.
The poster is not claiming Bel is a secret AGI. Just that it exists and only exists internally at the moment.
It's rumored to be over 10T parameters. When released it'll probably be very good at certain tasks, albeit slow and expensive and not necessarily "wiser". You don't have to make this a binary.
Also, Mythos was in fact a significant step-up in several ways. It fits the trend line, but only because the trend line for LLMs is quite steep. Plus Astra is still in many ways less intelligent than Fable/Mythos despite being released much later.
