What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-08-20

Wait for stronger evidence

Why
The entire thesis rests on an unreleased model; with zero shipped weights, no benchmarks, and a non-functional product despite $2B+ raised, there is nothing to adopt. The only signals are funding and government access, which are not capability.
Next
Do nothing until Reflection ships actual open weights with reproducible benchmarks; re-evaluate as a sovereign/open base-model option only after a verifiable release. Keep current Claude/Gemini/Codex stack unchanged.
