Four frontier releases in four days. Then the APIs went down — all of them, at once.
The release sequence. Claude Fable 5.1 (9/2), Gemini 3.8 Flash and Flash Cyber (9/3), Meta Muse Spark 1.3 (9/3), and OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra (1270 points, 997 comments on HN within hours of the announcement). A model released today is not the best model by Friday. The frontier is no longer moving quarterly — it's moving on a release-cycle cadence measured in days.
