I disagree with your assessment pretty strongly -- the models themselves hit a wall over a year ago once companies exhausted all existing training data. LLMs don't induce world models, and they aren't capable of real search an pl

There's been a massive step change in their capability per unit cost. What used to cost millions per unit now costs tens of thousands. That's significant. It's like saying artillery isn't that big a deal in 1914. After

Calling "reasoning tokens" "thinking" is a complete confusion of concepts on your part.

Nope. It's only surprising to people who still think they're going to build God out of LLMs.
