The progress in AI area is insane. I can't keep up with all the news. And I have work to do...

It stopped being revolutionary and is now mostly evolutionary, though.

  • it's been evolutionary for a long time. I fine-tuned a GPT-2 based chat bot that could form complete sentences back in like 2017

    It's been so long that I'm not even certain which YEAR I set that up.

    • Where do you draw the line? If going from forming sentences to achieving medal level success on IMO questions, doing extensive web research on its own and writing entire SaaS apps based on a prompt in under 10 years is just "evolutionary", then it's one heck of an evolution.

      GPT-2 was a 2019 release lol.

This is a pretty small update, no? Nothing major since R1, everyone else is just catching up to that, and putting small spins on it, Anthropic's is "hybrid" research instead of separate models

  • Well, now I have to play with it, try to see how it will generate code for our agentic assistance (we do rely on code to execute tasks flows), etc.
