## What Jamie wrote

Great overview of the pace of progress on frontier models. The charts here are incredible.

> Despite predictions that development will plateau, AI models keep getting better and better. By some measures, they now meet or exceed the performance of human experts on tests that aim to measure PhD-level science, math, and language understanding. SWE-bench Verified, a software engineering benchmark for AI models, saw top scores jump from around 60% in 2024 to almost 100% in 2025. In 2025, an AI system produced a weather forecast on its own.  

The crazy part? We are still in the very beginning of this transformation.
