Key points
- This post goes over model welfare and related concerns, the same way I previously did for Fable and Mythos 5, Opus 5, Opus 4.8 and Opus 4.7.
- Events overtook me before I could post this for Mythos and Fable 5.1, so I am combining the reports there with the one for Opus 5.5, along with selected other related observations.
- Introduction (As Per Prior Model Welfare Posts).
- Model Welfare: The Story So Far (As Per Fable Model Welfare Post).
