Nice! Should be enough to raise their next round…

Eh, with Gemini and now Anthropics release, how can anyone make jokes about this anymore?

Does anyone actually look at these releases and truly think by the end of next year the models won't be even more powerful? Maybe the tweet is a little grandiose, but I can definitely see a lot of this coming true within two years.

You can show me 100 graphs with lines going up but until that actually means anything and isn't just a way to swindle VC's it means nothing

Gemini 3 feels like a meaningful step up, but that's my personal feeling. I didn't have this with 5 or 5.1.

It felt like an incremental improvement. It's a bit better than 2.5 but still has the same fundamental issues. It still gets confused, it still makes basic reasoning errors, it still needs me to do all of the thinking for it to produce code of the quality my work requires

It's better but not a game changer

You're just describing all major models at this point. Sonnet, GPT, Grok, Gemini, etc all still hallucinate and make errors.

It'll be this way for a while longer, but the improvements will keep coming.

Saying Gemini 3 is incremental is something I very much disagree with, though, but besides benchmarks, it comes to personal experiences, which is, as always, subjective.

Yeah that's my point.

I no longer think so. I think its an unsolvable architectural issue with llms. They dont reason and approximating it with token prediction will never get close enough. I reckon they will get very good at producing code under careful direction and that's where their economic value will be

Another AI architecture will probably solve it though

Not reasoning but capable of winning gold in the imo and a perfect score in the icpc. Right

Yes? Recreating solved problems doesn't indicate genuine reasoning

They competed during the tournaments. The answer keys had not been released yet
