I don’t work in SWE so I am just reacting to the claims that LLMs 10x productivity and are leading to mass layoff in the industry. In that context the 6-12% productivity gain at a company “all in” on AI didn’t seem impressive. LMMs can be amazing tools, but I still don’t think these studies back up the claims being made by frontier labs.

And I think the 6-12% measure reports is from a 2025 not 2024 study?
