> It's cool and I'm glad it sounds like it's getting more reliable, but given the types of things people have been saying GPT-5 would be for the last two years you'd expect GPT-5 to be a world-shattering release rather than incremental and stable improvement.

Are you trying to say the curve is flattening? That advances are coming slower and slower?

As long as it doesn't suggest a dot com level recession I'm good.



I suppose what I'm getting at is that if there are performance increases on a steady pace, but the investment needed to get those performance increases is on a much faster growth rate, it's not really a fair comparison in terms of a rate of progress, and could suggest diminishing returns from a particular approach. I don't really have the actual data to make a claim either way though,I think anyone would need more data to do so than is publicly accessible.

But I do think the fact that we can publicly observe this reallocation of resources and emphasized aspects of the models gives us a bit of insight into what could be happening behind the scenes if we think about the reasons why those shifts could have happened, I guess.


How are you measuring investment? If we're looking at aggregate AI investment, I would guess that a lot of it is going into applications built atop AI rather than on the LLMs themselves. That's going to be tools, MCPs, workflow builders, etc
