Why?

Strongest counted support: A new model release day arrived roughly every 10 days in 2023, every five days in 2025, and every four days in 2026. weight 1.800000 evidence

Strongest counted contradiction: The independent cadence analysis reports an 11-day industry median in 2026 YTD, with OpenAI at 49 days, contradicting a generalized claim that frontier releases occur about every five days while confirming acceleration from earlier years. weight 1.530000 evidence

Suppressed as dependent: The excerpt directly says new model releases went from every few months to every five days.; Speaker says new model releases have gone from every few months to every five days.

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 Leans supported.

Under neighbouring settings of the same model: 0.8614 to 0.9675, a spread of 0.1061.

Half-even rounding, six places for weights and four for the probability. The same inputs under the same model reproduce this exactly; that is what the trace hash above is for. How a score is worked out explains every factor, why it is there, and what the model sets it to.

Supports substantial acceleration, though its explicit interval is roughly 11 days rather than about five.

Evidence against

The independent cadence analysis reports an 11-day industry median in 2026 YTD, with OpenAI at 49 days, contradicting a generalized claim that frontier releases occur about every five days while confirming acceleration from earlier years.

The target lacks a defined denominator and conflates industry releases or variants with frontier-model releases; available medians do not support five days as a general cadence.
The tracker reports that the monthly cadence of major AI releases has roughly quadrupled since 2023.

None.

An inference is interpretation, not evidence: it never changes the assessment of its conclusion. Each premise is a claim with its own evidence.

Threads

None. Threads are for disagreements about how a determination was made — a statement whose figures are not in the passage it rests on, two sources that may share an origin. Something about the world belongs in the evidence above.

Summary

Supported. The main support is: A new model release day arrived roughly every 10 days in 2023, every five days in 2025, and every four days in 2026. a78172f3
