alt Hacker NewsCertainly a big topic. In terms of Fable 5.5 at least it seems not to be the case, because partners already have access to it for 2 weeks. I consider it likely they are afraid of timing in regards to the GPT 6.2 release and government intervention risks related to IPO. (like last time).
I think the playbook is pretty obviously "Give the "good guys" the tools to always keep them a few months ahead of the "unknown actors"".
It's strongly in both the lab's and government's interest to do it this way.
