Have LLMs hit the ceiling? (Blind)
- u7yzvGBZ (PayPal): Lol what? 4.8 to fable was massive.
- fItf61 (Thomson Reuters): You don’t need any more giant leap. LLMs are already smart enough for what we need them for. We’re still catching up on how to use this technology. AI labs can stop improving models now and this technology will still be useful for decades. Fable 5 was able to solve math proofs that were believed to be true for a century. The brightest minds worked on the problem and they couldn’t come up with what fable did. What more are you expecting from LLMs?
- taarded (Databricks): I didn’t notice any change since 2022. Much waste on tokens. LLM added to every freakin feature. Decline in reliability. Sharp decline in SWE skillset. Expecting more of the same until next AI winter is here.

Corporate America Has Suddenly Decided to Stop Blowing Money on AI (r/technology)
- Material-Document-35: So all the CEOs and CFOs will be fired for making bad investments, right? Right?
- lostwisdom20: Haha they found our renewalable humans are cheaper then limited resource AI
- merRedditor: The total lack of pricing transparency below the executiive level should have been a red flag. AI companies were operating at a loss to secure vendor lock-in.
