Also pretty sure they're not benchmaxxing. Let's go Europe! 🇪🇺🚀
If the whole cryptocurrency thing dies, for me it will be like it never happened.
It's the one "tech hype" I never dabbled in even a little bit.
Doctors, lawyers, accountants, mechanics...
No matter what profession. Claude always sees something these "experts" miss. It's insane.
Google just crushing OpenAI right now...
Exciting news: Gemini 4 Carbon (High) from @GoogleDeepMind just made a huge debut on Arena, landing #1 in Text Arena, #2 in Agent Arena, and #4 in Code Arena: WebDev. Back at the top, Gemini 4 Carbon delivers frontier intelligence and reshapes the Pareto frontier across three arenas.
In Agent Arena, Gemini 4 Carbon ranks #2 with a +16.2% net improvement across +21.9K real-world agentic sessions from our global community, surpassing top models GPT-6 Astra and Fable-5.1. At $1.80 median cost per task, Gemini 4 Carbon (High) costs 72% less than the #1 ranked Claude Opus 5.5 (Max).
Its standouts by key signals:
- #1 Steerability (+18.6%): can the model course-correct when you push back?
- #2 Praise vs Complaint (+37.9%): implicit sentiment in users' reactions
- #3 Confirmed Success (+18.7%): explicit “yes, that worked” from users
In Code Arena: WebDev, Carbon scored 1768 pts landing #4:
- Just 2 pts below #3 Claude Sonnet 5.5 (xHigh), at 1770 pts
- 89 pts above #11 Gemini 4 Argon (High), at 1679 pts
By category, it ranks #3 in Gaming and Simulations, and #5 in Brand & Marketing.
In Text Arena, Gemini 4 Carbon (High) is the new #1 with 1528 pts, now ahead of Gemini 4 Argon (High) at #2 with 1520 pts.
Congrats to the @GoogleDeepMind team on this huge milestone!
Artificial Analysis updated their intelligence benchmark.
Some models moved down as a result. American models seem to remain pretty solid, while Chinese ones rank lower now.
Is this benchmaxxing?
Every bug fix used to mean learning multiple new things.
How often do we actually read error messages and tracebacks nowadays?
I think a large part of future SaaS businesses will be about providing interfaces for agents to access whatever you value proposition is.
Data, network effects, customer support...
I think one of the worst decisions you can make now is to stop learning because of AI.
Game theoretically:
I think people overestimate how many people would actually build their own custom software.
Let's say it would take 10-20 hours of prompting to get an Excel clone. Do you really think all the business and finance people would do it? I doubt it.

and it's not like the new kind of software is any good by the old standards (and yes, that was true for most old software as well).
it just doesn't matter anymore.
and it's not just software. anything machines can generate now goes this way.
an endless stream of mediocrity.
