I dont get it, why even make this announcement, nothing's available and only one real benchmark for comparison?

Only theory is team wanted this out before perf/promo reviews to kick it over the line and then its not their problem

Likely just trying to appear relevant in the news cycle.

It's also kinda wild how the competition being at v6.1 makes 3.x feel ancient, at least saying you are at v4 now changes public perception a bit imo.

By the time this is released to public it will already be outdated due to Opus 6 and Astra 6.5

Because none of the people who can use it (have been and will be using it) can talk about it if it hasn't been announced. NDAs and stuff.

		OpenAI released two model updates in the past week. 6 weeks from now is an eternity

Why would they want this out the day after openai dev day and after both anthropic and openai had major releases the previous week?

		Sarcasm? Google's announcement today makes those other releases old news.
