Has LLM progress slowed? Initial reactions to GPT-5 were mixed: to many, it did not seem as dramatic an advance as GPT-4. Benchmarks may help clarify the picture: GPT-5 is both an incremental release following many other OpenAI advances, and a major leap from GPT-4. https://x.com/EpochAIResearch/status/1961524635398529209

Codex CLI hype, final verdict: The codex cli hype is real, I just tried it.

I now use gpt-5 exclusively for coding (well almost, o3 at times too). It took some getting used to as I find it a tad pedantic, requiring more exact prompting. But as of late it’s been consistently the best model across the domains I use it for.”” / X https://x.com/martin_casado/status/1961903651733307452

I think congrats again to OpenAI for cooking with GPT-5 Pro.

This is disappointing. Purposefully underselling what models can do is a really bad idea. It is possible to point out that AI is flawed without saying it can’t do math or count – it just isn’t true.

I wrote about the era of Mass Intelligence.

GPT-5 Pro and Gemini 2.5 Pro Deep Think are both very impressive models for hard problems.

I think this is an accurate take: the leap from GPT-4 to GPT-5 was as big as the leap from the original GPT-3 to GPT-4, but there were many more interim releases before GPT-5 (including o3). Each of these led to gains, so that the progress from them to GPT-5 was more incremental. https://x.com/emollick/status/1961561611291779231

Alex – I’m excited to announce that we’re joining OpenAI’s Codex team! When we started out, Xcode had no AI. Building a “Cursor for Xcode” sounded crazy, but we managed to do it anyway.

@jeremyphoward Fixing this is very high on the priority list for the next version! The reason it says it in the system prompt is because the model was asking too many clarification questions (and thinking long for each) which IMO was even worse UX.”” / X https://x.com/yanndubs/status/1961716590568706226

For 𝜏²-Bench Telecom, OpenAI’s GPT-5 and o3 achieve scores of >80% with a lead over other frontier models, followed by the new Grok Code Fast 1 and Grok 4 from xAI.

At Transluce, we train investigator agents to surface specific behaviors in other models. Can this approach scale to frontier LMs? We find it can, even with a much smaller investigator!

GPT-OSS uses MXFP4 quantization (which MLX now supports). There are two FP4 formats circulating right now: MXFP4 and NVFP4 (NV for Nvidia). From looking at how GPT-OSS uses MXFP4, it is somewhat suboptimal. I’m thinking NVFP4 will be the more commonly used format in the https://x.com/awnihannun/status/1961500133990043967
