This is what I’m thinking, too. OpenAI is gaining a structural advantage purely on the basis of not being considered an enemy of the administration. Anthropic really blew it with Washington.
They blew it by pretending to take some sort of moral high ground while their model was being used in Iran to blow up schools. I say they get what they deserve. I would have a lot more respect for them if they banned Pentagon use of their models outright.
i don’t think 5.6 will be as good as fable. their benchmark graphs say so, maybe they’ll take some limiters off next week or something now that being Fable tier isn’t scary anymore.
No idea. But I will switch to OpenAI if they release their Sol model on a subscription. And if neither of them do, I will switch to GLM 5.2.

By "blew it with Washington" you mean "Didn't donate millions to the ballroom."

It's interesting that the fate of billions or even trillions of dollar hinges on millions of dollars of donations.
That is what corruption usually looks like
Yes. And as the saying goes: the scandal is not that you can buy politicians, the scandal is that they are so cheap.
It doesn't look like it; similar restrictions apply to GPT-5.6 as used to apply to Fable.
I think the Fable ban happened because Anthropic was first to release a capable enough model.

It will likely be GLM 5.3 by then
Perhaps the 9,999 fields other than computer technician will appreciate it?
