“This chart shows the three big questions of AI right now (even given the limitations of MMLU as a test): 1) OpenAI was very far ahead, now it isn’t. Will GPT-5 be another leap? 2) Will open source models converge with closed source? 3) Will rapid progress continue or hit a wall?  https://twitter.com/emollick/status/1779841429960851957

“The current state-of-play in the key question of how good AI gets: So much depends on GPT-5. OpenAI had a year+ lead in creating a GPT-4 class model. Now there are four GPT-4 class models.
