Episode Details

In August, Anthropic described an internal model it calls Model Two — a step up on its released flagship, used heavily inside the company, and never given a release date. This episode digs into what's really behind the gap between what labs build and what the public gets: documented internal-first timelines, forecasts of roughly 65 days from internal use to outside access, and government access via custom Claude Gov models and early-release agreements. Then it asks the harder question — could a genuinely bigger model be hidden at all? Power draw, chip shipment records, court cases, staffing, and the EU's 10^25 FLOP threshold all say the same thing: the weights can sit in a drawer, but the electricity can't.
