Hear me out... What would it feel like, if the lab didn't even have a new model to offer, and therefore just renamed every model one tier down?

"Opus 5" is actually Opus 4.8 in a trenchcoat, with new guardrails

"Opus 4.8" is the old Opus 4.6 with lipstick on it, with new guardrails

"Opus 4.6" which everybody used to love, is now actually running the old Opus 3.5...

How would we be able to tell?

They would have to be colluding with any organization that runs a serious benchmark. Which is totally possible! But that would be one hell of a conspiracy theory.
