My big takeaway is that both Sol & Fable represent jumps over previous models and have opened a large gap with the next-best AIs. People will have preferences for one or the other, but if you doing an

Opus 4.8 https://x.com/emollick/status/2060042738637148470?s=20 I had early access to Opus 4.8. Was impressed by it. Here is Opus 4.8's one shot of 'create a visually interesting shader that can run i

Our internal assessment is that Grok 4.5 is roughly comparable to Opus 4.7, but much faster. The combination of capability, faster speed and lower cost is what makes it competitive. We are closing the

What if the model is the router? I think people underestimate the ability of frontier models now, but especially in the near future, to delegate work on their own as needed to dumber, cheaper models.

A big part of how the team at Runway is able to build and train the models we do and serve the inference demand we have is that we've built incredibly robust research infrastructure and tooling for al
