This is literally an opinion of one dude which is not backed by any kind of quantitative evidence.

It's actually possible to answer this question rigorously:

1. Define a scientific result which qualifies as a "jump". They should be frequent enough that they happen every year - otherwise one might say humans can't jump either.

2. Identify all such "jumps" in articles published in 2026, and use LLM with 2025 knowledge cut-off to re-derive these results with minimal amount of information.

It really irks me that people boost these low-effort articles just because they confirm pre-conceived notion that LLMs are limited
