Looks like the OAI divergence is finally taking place. Seems like the comparisons are mainly with Opus 4.6 and GPT 5.4 though. Still, exciting to see a new frontier player.

Is it a frontier player though, or perhaps a new benchmaxxed model? People were saying similar things about Grok but it ultimately amounted to little.

"preferred by humans over Sonnet 4.6" makes it pretty clearly not benchmaxxed though.

At least when you define benchmaxxed as "good in benchmarks but not human preference".

Post 4.6 Anthropic models do not exactly have a stellar reputation, so that choice is smart.

Looks like eleven labs has a new competitor in the voice space, especially in the terms of cost

Great to see new sota tts/stt models. Looks like eleven labs has a new competitor.

Did HP acquire Humane just to put in GPT-OSS into HP laptops? What a waste of an acquisition.

"Uses your microphone, to detect whether users are in the same room as a Poly conferencing device." - This is outright a privacy nightmare btw

Highly doubt it's good for the mass consumers and non-power users in the long term. Most consumers would prefer household OS name like Windows or MacOS over Linux as a pre-installed OS. OEMs will always prefer Windows because of the profits they make whenever there's a Windows Refresh, no matter how bad the version is.

You'd be surprised to know that though this might be a possibility, MS Office Suite or whatever it's called now will still be some of the top installed/grossing apps on the App store. Windows is just one of Microsoft's gateways to get you on the office suite.

This is still bad, but maybe less bad.

Another HP bloatware, great. Seems positioned for enterprise, but I hope it's easy to uninstall.
