I am impressed by speed of the sound goalpost movement.

Few days ago Google released very competent summary generator, interpreter between 10-s of languages, gpt-3 class general purpose assistant. Working locally on modest hardware. On 5 years old laptop, no discrete GPU.

It alone potentially saves so much toil, so much stupid work.

We also finally “solved computer vision”. Read from PDF, read diagrams and tables.

Local vision models are much less impressive and need some care to use. Give it 2 years.

I don't know if we can overhype it when it archives holy grail level on some important tasks.

I have had SOTA models stray from factual content in documents I provided them with within 2-3 prompts.

They haven't solved anything. They are just fast and look good doing what we ask them to do. But they corrupt data with a passion and to that hype just responds: "just give us 10x as much money and compute".
