The news comes in the wake of an announcement last week by competitor Anthropic that its new Claude Mythos Preview model is only being privately released for now—because, the company says, it could be exploited by hackers and bad actors. Anthropic also announced an industry coalition, including competitors like Google, focused on how advances in generative AI across the field will impact cybersecurity.
Everything OpenAI does seems to be a reaction to whatever Anthropic has already done. A way to catchup. Maybe they don’t have the requisite product leadership in their company.
But Anthropic seem to have a tendency to hype everything too much at times - mostly dread.
