Can someone explain why people care about that? Both as in "Why is there a stealth launch like that in the first place?" but also "Why does it matter? Is it very good in something?"
I think the blind test is valuable. To what degree is our impression of a model affected by who created it?
I agree, the blind test is valuable - like the old Pepsi Challenge.
I like Ox Alpha. I'm getting some actual work done with it, I'm really enjoying working with it, and I've already cut back my Anthropic budget in anticipation of working with this model instead.
But I'm terrified that when the model is revealed, I'll discover that it was Grok 4.7 all along.
