Claim
Frontier labs' unreleased internal models are only a few months ahead of the models they have released publicly.
Topics
Assessment
Supported
Main unresolved issue: 6 counted evidence items have no independence review; repeats of one origin may be counted as several coverage:12aba7bf-dfeb-8be5-ba0b-fbceaa373ec5
Not yet independently audited.This assessment depends heavily on modeling choices.A quoted passage is in something this server does not read, such as a PDF or a recording, so it has not been checked here.
Why?
Strongest counted support: Internal frontier models at four major labs were only about two months ahead of public releases. weight 1.530000 evidence
Suppressed as dependent: The excerpt says internal frontier models are only a few months ahead, while also stating recursive self-improvement is here.
Review gaps: independence reviewed, primary source reviewed
What would most change this: One independent, direct measurement that contradicts this claim would move it from Supported to Supported.

Summary
Supported. The main support is: AI Frontiers reports that major labs keep models internal for months before public release during testing and refinement. 8d713367
1 further item repeats the same origin and is not independent evidence. 9f8b2be9
Qualifier: The speaker says 'they' are only a few months ahead, hedged with 'I think', but names no frontier labs and no internal versus public models. f9ce8158
