By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

The AI industry is experiencing "model fatigue" as four major labs—Anthropic, Meta, Google, and OpenAI—released new models within a single week. This rapid release cycle, with a median gap of just 11 days between major model updates, is leading to a sense of numbness among users and even prompting internal dissent, with over 1,000 employees signing a petition to slow down development.
