It is frequently suggested that once one of the AI companies reaches an AGI threshold, they will take off ahead of the rest. It's interesting to note that at least so far, the trend has been the opposite: as time goes on and the models get better, the performance of the different company's gets clustered closer together. Right now GPT-5, Claude Opus, Grok 4, Gemini 2.5 Pro all seem quite good across the board (ie the…

The clustering you see is because they're all optimized for the same benchmarks. In the real world OpenAI is already ahead of the rest, and Grok doesn't even belong in the same group (not that it's not a remarkable achievement to start from scratch and have a working production model in 1-2 years, and integrate it with twitter in a way that works). And Google is Google - kinda hard for them not to be in the top, for now.

just wondering whether Altman is still going to promote his AGI/ASI coming in 12 months story.

Anecdote:

It can now speak in various Scots dialects- for example, it can convincingly create a passage in the style of Irvine Welsh. It can also speak Doric (Aberdonian). Before it came nowhere close.

GPT-5 knowledge cutoff: Sep 30, 2024 (10 months before release). Compare that to Gemini 2.5 Pro knowledge cutoff: Jan 2025 (3 months before release) Claude Opus 4.1: knowledge cutoff: Mar 2025 (4 months before release) https://platform.openai.com/docs/models/compare https://deepmind.google/models/gemini/pro/ https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/about-claude/models/overv...

Perhaps they want to extract the logic/reason behind language over remembering facts which can be retrieved with a search.

What's going on with this plot's y-axis? https://bsky.app/profile/tylermw.com/post/3lvtac5hues2n

After reading around, it seems like they probably forgot to update/swap the slides before presentation. The graphs were correct on their website, as they launched. But the ones they used in the presentation were probably some older versions they had forgotten to fix.

Very well said.

Going by the system card at: https://openai.com/index/gpt-5-system-card/ > GPT‑5 is a unified system . . . OK > . . . with a smart and fast model that answers most questions, a deeper reasoning model for harder problems, and a real-time router that quickly decides which model to use based on conversation type, complexity, tool needs, and explicit intent (for example, if you say “think hard about this” in the prompt).…

You could train that architecture end-to-end though. You just have to run both models and backprop through both of them in training. Sort of like mixture of experts but with two very different experts.

Anecdotally, as someone who operates in a very large legacy codebase, I am very impressed by GPT-5's agentic abilities so far. I've given it the same tasks I've given Claude and previous iterations via the Codex CLI, and instead of getting loss due to the massive scope of the problem, it correctly identifies the large scope and breaks it down into it's correct parts and creates the correct plan and begins executing.…

What are you using to run it?
