Reddit discussion: Anthropic, OpenAI's advantage may be scale, not secret sauce

A discussion on Reddit suggests that leading AI labs like Anthropic and OpenAI may not possess proprietary "secret sauce" but rather rely on sheer scale for their model performance. The theory posits that their advantage stems from significantly larger parameter counts compared to open-source models, with rumors of models like Opus having 5 trillion parameters and Mythos/Fable reaching 10 trillion. This perspective is contrasted with recent advancements in open models like DeepSeek V4 and Kimi K3, which have reportedly surpassed the 1 trillion parameter mark and shown notable performance jumps.

    Anthropic and OpenAI don't have secret sauce

    <!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>I’ve always had this idea but can’t prove it. I think Anthropic and OpenAI don’t really have any secret sauce, their moat is just scale. Rumor has it Opus has 5T parameters and Mythos/Fable are 10T parameter models, while open models stayed under…
