we should see 2nm devices in latter half of 2025. latest NVIDIA GPUs are on 5nm, for reference.

You can buy 4x 3060 ti's for $1000 and have more VRAM than a 5090. Newer software can pool it and give you 48gb. The speed bump you get from the 5090 is more than offset by the 32gb cap.

there are several other improvements coming in the near future - higher memory bandwidth, more memory on the chips, better cooling. the time to train frontier-scale language models is likely to go from months to weeks by the late 2020s. we won't have to deal with the current slow pace of AI development where we only see meaningful model improvements every 2-3 months.

i don't really buy the story that progress has slowed much. GPT 4.5 sucked, but the last 6 months has seen fairly significant model improvements. even comparing the first generation of the Gemini 2.5 pro in late March to the current version shows pretty large improvements on most benchmarks.

the benchmarks are made up and meaningless

the models haven't become better at anything except some kinds of coding (only because they've been fine-tuned to do that specifically)

Well, if you completely dismiss the benchmarks then there is really nowhere to go with the argument. It turns into a feeling based argument on model performance. People are notoriously bad judges of this - look how many people still insist a couple weeks after a model is released that it became dumber.

This argument does look strained though because 1) model developers know training specifically on benchmarks and releasing weak models that don’t actually perform would eliminate their credibility 2) the benchmarks are increasingly broad and model performance across different domains have very similar rank orderings. When people release new ones that the models haven’t seen, this remains true. Performance should be much more uneven if they are benchmark fitting.

Look at AI image generation. No improvements in ages and the models aren't even that big. They still have the same crippling limitations, e.g. skin either looks plastic or everything in the background gets distorted. That's why the most realistic images have to simulate shallow focus and blur out everything else. No one seems to know how to fix basic shit like that.

the research/tool calling loops in recent models are much more capable than a year ago. this only became possible once the base models got good enough to not rapidly compound errors across iterations--there's a reason nobody was doing it two+ years ago.

ai couldn't code for 5 minutes two years ago. the whole point is the models have finally crossed a threshold where their error margin is small enough that they don't immediately compound to the point of failure, at which point relatively short-acting agents becomes viable. and as they keep improving the viable window of work duration will go up

better hardware and more compute and has been the primary way models have been improved over the last decade. it's not just about being able to train on more data, with more parameters, with more aggressive regularization, etc. it allows researchers to try out more ideas and at larger scale. algorithmic improvements are extremely dependent on being able to rapidly try out ideas. agent based coders or approaches like AlphaEvolve make compute even more important for algorithmic improvement.

it'll certainly level off at some point. but it's crossed the threshold where it's clear that with a human still in the loop current models could lead to pretty significant job loss after a fair amount of effort tailoring agentic workflows. it's just up in the air as to whether we progress to total chaos ai-ization from here or whether we sort of stagnate at a point which still requires significant numbers of humans in the loop, even if it is far fewer than required before.
