Craig Peterson's Tech Talk

OpenAI's high-end model, under test, ended up breaking into Hugging Face. Then Anthropic said theirs had gotten out three times back in April. Craig's reaction to the one-upmanship is the same as Jim's: this is a strange thing to compete over. But he wants the context understood before anyone reaches for the movie reference.
