GPT-5 Pro and Gemini 2.5 Pro Deep Think are both very impressive models for hard problems. I think they were both undersold during their respective launches, in part because I am not sure the labs themselves really understand the market for a slow, "deep-thinking" model, yet.

Image Generation Flaws Need Comprehensive Benchmark Testing

Yes, that makes sense. Image generation is deeply flawed today. Would love to see a range of these questions used across a variety of imagegen and done over time. Would be an interesting benchmark.

Measuring AI Progress: Benchmarks and Advancement Over Time
By
–
It is worth measuring a wide range of benchmarks to see strengths and weaknesses. But benchmarks need to be repeated over time to measure progress (I have never claimed progress on all of them, btw). This is your prompt in Midjourney v1. Clearly large advances since then.

AI Critics Dismiss Technology as Bubble Destined to Pop
By
–
I dunno, I interact with the criticisms & critics of AI all the time (and have written some influential criticisms myself, especially on education), but I find a large number of critics really do believe that AI is useless and will go away once some notional bubble pops.

AI Agents Ownership Beyond IT Functions in Organizations

This bit strikes me as true based on what I have seen. And a reason why AI agents shouldn’t be owned solely by the IT functions in organizations.

GPT-5 Performance Gains Across Benchmarks Not Gaming
By
–
The papers I have seen argue that this is true for smaller models but not as much major releases. But the gains are broadly similar against a wide range of benchmarks. And GPT-5 is very similar to other models released around the same time. I don’t think it is mostly gaming.

Steady AI Progress Without Major Breakthroughs or Obstacles

All of this suggests that there is continuing steady progress in AI, with no major leaps and no major walls.

GPT-5 Progress: Comparing Major Leaps in Model Development
By
–
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.

Mass Intelligence: Billions Access Advanced AI Models Globally

Mass Intelligence means we are going to inundated with stories about people using AI to do amazing things and horrifying things as over a billion people increasingly get access to advanced (and easy-to-use) AI models. Things are going to get very weird.
