The difference won't be in the individual tasks. It'll be in the scale of job they can take on and how you interact with the model. Think of pairing with a junior vs replacing a full delivery team, that's the sort of difference we'll be looking at. We'll be able to get closer to the latter by being more clever with harnesses, I reckon, but the frontier labs will run ahead because for any given harness trick they can lean harder on model smarts.
