Criticism: holding back Astra 6.1 while Anthropic leads
The author argues that if OpenAI keeps Astra 6.1 undeployed while Anthropic is already ahead, Anthropic releasing Fable 5.5 would not count as pacing the frontier.

If Astra 6.1 stays undeployed and Opus 5.5 is already in the lead, I will be annoyed if Anthropic then drops Fable 5.5 while OpenAI was holding back. That's not how "pacing the frontier" works even granting the premise. It would be bad, and Anthropic should not do it.
