Grok 4.5 vs gpt-5.6, Apple Sues OpenAI, and China Catches up to Elon | #270
"We have four American labs now at the optimal frontier. This is a convergence episode."
Following major model releases from OpenAI, Meta, Anthropic, and SpaceX AI in a single week, the AI frontier is no longer a duopoly. Meta's Muse Spark and SpaceX's Grok 4.5 joined OpenAI's GPT-5.6 and Anthropic's Claude at the performance frontier. The convergence demonstrates accelerating competition and suggests intelligence is becoming too cheap to meter, with China's labs also closing the gap.
