Have we honestly seen that great a leap in the last 6 months, or just better application of what we had 6 months before that.
We are seeing multiple frontier models dropping on the same day and no one bats an eye, because it's more of the same.
The difference between 6 months ago frontier and now frontier in 3d modelling, graphics and video editing is night and day.
Statements like these remind me how much each of us are in our own unique information bubbles. People seemed very excited about analysing the differences of each model on my feeds.
Have you used recent ones on any large projects or coding issues? They've improved tremendously lately in my experience, in terms of implementing non-trivial things, debugging, handling legacy/complex codebases, etc. I usually keep a text document of things that models failed to do/fix and recent ones have wiped it all away.
