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 performance gap between the best AI models and the rest is collapsing. Aggregate leaderboard scores now hide more than they reveal about real strengths.
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.
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.
