ai-frontier

Coverage of the leading edge of AI capability, where new model releases, benchmark leaps, and research breakthroughs redraw what machines can do. This tag tracks the race between open-weight and proprietary labs, the shrinking gap between them, and what each capability jump means for pricing, strategy, and safety. Expect analysis of frontier models, the labs building them, and the competitive and commercial shifts they trigger.
