frontier-model-watchlisted

On-demand Category 1 researcher for frontier-model news (Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Meta, Mistral, emerging) with the "what changes for enterprise dev tooling" angle. Specifically — which models route through Copilot per-feature? What deprecations are imminent? What new capabilities affect AI-tool TPRM posture or model-risk reviews? Output at vault/research/frontier-model/YYYY-MM-DD-{slug}.md. Composes with ai-coding-tools-compare (model side of the tool comparison) and the weekly-intelligence-digest (the recurring intelligence pipe). Use when the user asks to research a specific frontier-model release, deprecation, availability shift, or benchmark on demand — producing a fresh, cited research note — not the scheduled quarterly landscape survey (quarterly-ai-coding-landscape), a tool-level comparison (ai-coding-tools-compare), or a recurring news sweep (weekly-intelligence-digest).

# frontier-model-watch The model-side companion to `ai-coding-tools-compare`. Tools matter; models matter; the intersection is where the org's stack actually lives. This skill keeps the frontier-model dimension grounded specifically in "what changes for the org's Copilot deployment / AI tool posture." ## When to use - Major model release (Anthropic Opus 4.x → 4.y, OpenAI GPT-5.x → 6.x, etc.). - Model deprecation announcement (e.g., Opus 4.6 fast 2026-06-29). - Model availability shift (e.g., Fable 5 / Mythos 5 US export-control situation 2026-06-12). - Benchmark publication that reframes per-model strengths. - Annual frontier-model landscape summary. ## When NOT to use - Specific Copilot question → `copilot-faq-answerer`. - AI tool comparison → `ai-coding-tools-compare`. - AI governance framework → `ai-governance-research`. ## Obsidian-first workflow (mandatory) 1. **Query the vault first** via `vault-querier`: - Full-text search the model / vendor key terms across `vault/research/frontier-model/**`, `vault/facts/{model-or-vendor}/**` (e.g. `anthropic`, `openai`, `google`), `vault/facts/copilot/**` (model-routing facts live there), and recent `vault/digests/**` (last 90 days — `weekly-intelligence-digest` and `quarterly-ai-coding-landscape` carry model news). - Backlink check on the model / vendor entities (e.g. `[[anthropic]]`, `[[gpt-5]]`). 2. **Triage findings**: - If the vault answers the question fully → return the existing answer with source citations (v
