The progress in AI area is insane. I can't keep up with all the news. And I have work to do...

It stopped being revolutionary and is now mostly evolutionary, though.

This is a pretty small update, no? Nothing major since R1, everyone else is just catching up to that, and putting small spins on it, Anthropic's is "hybrid" research instead of separate models

it's been evolutionary for a long time. I fine-tuned a GPT-2 based chat bot that could form complete sentences back in like 2017

It's been so long that I'm not even certain which YEAR I set that up.

Well, now I have to play with it, try to see how it will generate code for our agentic assistance (we do rely on code to execute tasks flows), etc.

Where do you draw the line? If going from forming sentences to achieving medal level success on IMO questions, doing extensive web research on its own and writing entire SaaS apps based on a prompt in under 10 years is just "evolutionary", then it's one heck of an evolution.

GPT-2 was a 2019 release lol.

It's always been the case that people in to tech see a smooth slope rather than some sort of discontinuity, like you might perceive if you stepped back a bit. That's why you can go laugh at "thing makes a billion dollars even though nerds say it's obvious and incremental" type posts going back 25 years. iPhone is a great one.
