Pretty sure the claim is of LLMs specifically, and implies that the recent GPT-OSS is not competitive with other open weights models.

> Pretty sure the claim is of LLMs specifically

Yeah, I initially thought so too, but since they used "models" later, I assumed they knew the difference and really meant "software".

> recent GPT-OSS is not competitive with other open weights models

Yeah, heard that a lot from people who haven't run GPT-OSS themselves too, but as someone who been playing with it since launch, and compared it to the alternatives since then, saying it isn't even competitive is a serious signal they don't know what they're talking about.
