Unit distance proof moves AI past clever math demos
The unit distance proof gives OpenAI an AI math win: n^1.014 unit pairs, with humans still doing the verification work.

AI capability stopped slowing down. It sped up after 2024
Model capability is improving about 15.5 ECI a year and the rate rose after early 2024. The expected plateau never arrived, which complicates every roadmap built around one.

The model leaderboard is tightening to a photo finish
The performance gap between the best AI models and the rest is collapsing. Aggregate leaderboard scores now hide more than they reveal about real strengths.

The scaling curve nobody wants to extrapolate
Training compute for frontier models has grown about 5 times a year since 2020. The scatter looks clean, but every data point sits to the left of the real question.

Training costs rise 3.5x a year. Efficiency is the only brake
Frontier training costs climb about 3.5 times a year while algorithms get 3 times more efficient. The two trends are racing, and the gap decides who can still compete.
