What are suspicious of? If the timing is similar maybe just everyone already are of similar capabilities and got there at a similar time?

It means Anthropic had no real moat and no real lead. Is that weird to you?
- avazhi 2mo agoWell, Opus 5 and Fable are the only models I don’t constantly swear at and call stupid, which seems like a pretty good moat to me. My guess is all the commenters (you are the 4th person I’ve seen say this) saying ‘Anthropic has no moat’ haven’t actually used Fable or even Opus 5 yet. Sol is laughable by comparison, and Grok… lol.
- re-thc 2mo ago> haven’t actually used Fable or even Opus 5 yet I've used plenty of Opus and Fable. Still do. > Sol is laughable by comparison Not really, it depends. Sol is better and useful in some areas. Definitely not all. Fable is gimped just by those "guardrails" that silently downgrades you to Opus 4.8. Not only do you pay extra for Fable but your caching can be easily messed up. It also doesn't just find all the bugs or is bug-free. Sol has spotted lots of Fable issues and vice versa. Fable also costs 2-100x as much. > I don’t constantly swear at and call stupid That's not a judge of anything. There are models that may be stupid and you can swear at it, but if they still get the job done for 1/10th the price... maybe that's all you're paying for.
- avazhi 2mo agoI was saying it’s the only model I don’t rage at for its incompetence.
