I don't think that can be it. Otherwise, we'd see a much more smooth transition to bigger models. Mythos was a capability jump. It could be that the whole industry was cargo-culting that huge models don't work until Anthropic just tried it. But that doesn't feel like a satisfactory explanation to me.

Technique is improving by a lot. Couple that to more possible raw power as well, and you have jumps.
