Preview and release
Theo distinguishes Mythos preview from Mythos 5. He describes the latter as the later production model.
Let's distinguish Fable 5 and Mythos 5. Mythos preview was used during Project Glass Wing; I understand Mythos 5 as the subsequent model produced through reinforcement learning, now presented as ready for production.
Two access paths
He argues that Fable 5 uses the same model with additional checks. He uses a two-door analogy to explain his view.
My view is that Fable 5 is the same underlying model, with a different way in. Imagine two doors to the same place: the Mythos 5 door lets someone with the right key enter directly, while the Fable 5 door has guards checking what the person is doing. I am concerned about how those checks work.
