that's the exact thing I'm talking about. I don't see why is half the people around here so sure that China will continue to release anything at all. they are releasing non-frontier models on a 6-month lag, yes, but the reasons why to release them are overshadowed by reasons to not do that for mythos-class models. IOW why would they give away a dual use technology just like that?
- cassianoleal 4mo ago> the reasons why to release them are overshadowed by reasons to not do that for mythos-class models Why? What are those reasons? How come they don't already exist for DeepSeek V4 or GLM-5.2? By the way, I'm not going to entertain the "mythos-class" phrasing because I really don't think it's important. I don't believe Anthropic's take on it being the threshold towards the end of the world that their marketing insists it is.
- baq 4mo agoDeepSeek v4 and GLM 5.2 are not Mythos-class, the capability uplift as measured is continuous but consequences are step functions.

- cassianoleal 4mo agoI didn't say they are. I did say I don't like the phrasing "Mythos-class" because it puts Mythos on a level I don't think it is.
- baq 4mo agoIt is on a level above everything else for now, that’s enough to determine it’s quite literally in its own class. Anecdotally it is a good model, sir.
- cassianoleal 4mo agoIt doesn't seem to be on a level above everything else, no. It seems to be a step increase in some areas and maybe even a decrease in others. Anectodally, DeepSeek V4 is a very good model as well, sir. I'm not calling anything V4-class because of that.
- baq 4mo agoI’ve been piloting frontier LLMs for as long as anyone outside of the labs and I just disagree. It is a tier above for some tasks (especially in my usage) and not a downgrade on anything I tried it on. This is enough for me to rank it higher; ymmv.
- cassianoleal 4mo agoFair enough! I've only briefly tried it and it did seem quite capable for what I was doing, but not that much better than the Chinese models I've been mostly using. In any case, this [0] seems to paint a more reasonable picture than "it's much better than anything else at everything".

- khalic 4mo agoHave you used it? It’s clearly a class above, I had it solve so many things in 3 days, it was ridiculous
