“Technical progress in #AI has slowed.

Established #LLMs aren't improving at the expected rate.

#GPT4 (released in March 2023) was much better than #GPT3 (June 2020). But #GPT5, released over two years later, in 2025, and estimated to cost 10 times more to #train, did not make the same impression.

There's less talk now of inventing #SuperIntelligence and more interest in the less exciting #practical #applications: #coding #software, #Organisational #Workflows.”

AI progress has slowed and models are cheaper. That could be good news for Australia

Slowed progress in AI is narrowing the gap between big tech's proprietary models and their cheaper, open source rivals.

> AI is being so deeply embedded into everyday tasks, from googling to word processing, that we will need enormous new data centres to run the digital economy. Opting out of AI isn't an option.

Ohhh, you wish… try me!

@stuartl I’m seeing the signs of tech🫧 and stupid money instead of productivity. I could be wrong, timing might be out. I remember the #AI winter of the 80s. 🤪☺️
