Well, as we have no idea what the capabilities of their yet-to-be-released frontier models are, if they say hold, that feels like the right call.

feels like marketing to me... oh, our model is so powerful we need to hold it back (... we are not holding back because claude is whooping our ass!)

Probably a bit of that too, for sure.
