2025 is such old news that this just isn't relevant.

METR already redid the study at a later date and now finds a likely 18% speedup

"For the subset of the original developers who participated in the later study, we now estimate a speedup of -18% with a confidence interval between -38% and +9%" (note their use of - and + here could be slightly confusing but they do mean 18% faster per the post)
