I’m baffled by claims that AI has “hit a wall.” By every quantitative measure, today’s models are making dramatic leaps compared to those from just a year ago. It’s easy to forget that reasoning models didn’t even exist a year back!

IMO Gold, Vibe coding with potential implications across sciences and engineering? Those are completely new and transformative capabilities gained in the last 1 year alone.

Critics argue that the era of “bigger is better” is over, but that’s a misreading. Sometimes efficiency is the key, other times extended test-time compute is what drives progress.

No matter how you frame it, the fact is undeniable: the SoTA models today are vastly more capable than those from a year ago, which were themselves leaps ahead of the models a year before that, and the cycle continues.
