Is it only my impression that in recent model releases every vendor is zooming in on hard skills: code, code, some math + physics ? AI is increasingly Jagged ?

We were promised AI can find cure for cancer and in powerpoints most enterprise value comes from Business-AI.

It might as well be that before business-AI can be done we have to cover the basics at superhuman level. All basics, not just entry level jobs like excels, coding jira tickets.

One-shotting a full game (albeit super impressive) looks like overfitting one skill over explaining why we have not much progress in other areas.

I live in an IT bubble and cannot tell if outside IT/math the models are also getting significantly better ?

It's pretty sad that they obviously have better models in the pipeline and don't release them yet for strategic reasons.

Hopefully this de-nerfs opus 5.5 as well

Let's be honest, the only thing I care about is, does it beat Opus 5.5 on assbench??

Nice announcement of models that almost nobody can or will use.

These guys really needed to IPO 3 months ago. Timing is everything. I don’t doubt they’ll be a successful company long term but they’ve sabotaged their initial raise here.

How come DeepSWE isn't included in the benchmarks?

Very interesting that they set the flagship's version number to 5.2, but their penultimate model is 5.5. Do they want people to to continue to think that Opus is based on more advanced technology? The decision these AI companies make continues to baffle me.

wish it included in base pro model, I mean i have downgraded from max to only use opus 5.5 just fine
