TechFlow News, June 19: After Elon Musk previously stated that Chinese AI might reach “Fable-level” capability “possibly in Q1,” Tang Jie, founder of Zhipu AI, responded, “It won’t take that long.” Musk then replied that while benchmark tests suggest this is the case, if measured by real-world utility, achieving Fable-level status even in Q1 would still be highly impressive. He also noted that Anthropic is correctly focusing on maximizing useful intelligence—a factor not reflected in benchmark scores but clearly evident in revenue.
Earlier report: Musk said Chinese AI may reach Fable-level capability as early as Q1 next year.
