just because they are a well known name, doesnt mean they havent botched hiring over the last two years or so
In some sense though, sure, skill issue explains the gap vs. Anthropic’s much less severe alignment issues.
To use an analogy to another industry, if you had US food companies providing reports whenever their food had issues, even if it was just during testing or training phases… and then also had a bunch of Chinese companies but who never reported having any food issues…
Neither does openai, as there keep coming third-party reports of incidents that have happened there that openai either did not know or basically concealed.
Soft Bank just raised couple of billions in junk bond sale to support open-ai's current operations before the IPO.
it's a crazy situation where on one side the Chinese / open source LLMs are catching up and reducing the token price, on the other hand the current leading labs have spent everything they got, every new model will cost much more and the public market is too shaky to support an IPO.
They will make it, I don't doubt it, but it's a crazy situation.

That’s not the most parsimonious explanation even if the assumption it rests on (anthropic ahead of OpenAI) is true, which we don’t have proof of.
