Chiming in to agree but clarify that the latest sota models are no better than Gemini.
I put my stuff through several sota models and round robin them in adversarial collaboration and they are all useful even though, fundamentally, they don’t “understand” anything. But they are super useful delegates as long as deciding on the problem and approach and solution all sits safely in your head so you can challenge them and steer them.
So I know the article is about one particular new model acing something and each vendor wants these stories to position their model as now good enough to replace humans and all other models, but working somewhere where I am lucky enough to be able to use all the sota models all the time, I can say that all keep making obvious mistakes and using all adversarially is way better than trusting just one.
I look forward to the day one a small open model that we can run ourselves outperforms the sum of all today’s models. That’s when enough is enough and we can let things plateau.
Basically all Erdos problems that get solved with AI use ChatGPT 5.* Pro, not Gemini/Opus.
I would guess it's because ChatGPT Pro allows for 80min "think". I've never had even remotely similar think times with Gemini Deep Think. It's generally around 10-15min for math problems, and get increasingly shorter for continued interactions.
