you're not crazy

between anthropic and openai, a new model used to come out every ~10 weeks

now it's every ~11 days

[attached chart: "New models from Anthropic and OpenAI are arriving faster" -- y-axis "Days since the previous release (either lab)", x-axis "Release date" 2024-2026; note "Shaded: middle 50% of gaps"; smoothed line starts at "70 days" in 2024 and ends at "11 days" labelled "median gap now"]

You're half-right. It's the pace that's inducing the insanity.

Sometime in the last ~two model releases from the
big labs they went from "this would be acceptable
output from the median low-seniority coworker" to
"this is  frighteningly good."

I think people who are not daily users of the models
are unlikely to grok that, so, saying it.

Tweet by Patrick McKenzie (@patio11), reposted by dave kasten, saying recent frontier model releases moved from junior-coworker-quality output to 'frighteningly good', and that non-daily users are unlikely to grasp it.

@AndrewCurran_ (Andrew Curran) — 32m Sounds like Gemini 3.5 Pro arrives around July 17th with a brand-new pretrain. Unless, of course, the government blocks it. People are pretty down on Google right now, but I think they'll be surprised. July is a month for Kaiju fights. > QUOTED: @synthwavedd (leo) — 2h: 🚨 SCOOP: As previously reported, OpenAI plan to launch GPT-5.6 once back in office next week, with a target window of July 7-9, but want it out as ear...
