It might not be a good idea for Amazon, but for a company whose future depends on the world finding valuable ways to use very large amounts of tokens, a token leaderboard makes much more sense

[Gergely Orosz @GergelyOrosz]

I can now probably say this:

Two months ago, inside Anthropic someone suggested building a token leaderboard.

A heated internal debate followed and the decision was made to *never* ever do it… because several people inside Anthropic simply thought ahead of the consequences
