Beside the fact that Gemini pro is more comparable to GPT-3.5, one more interesting observation is that even OpenAI themselves was not able (or didn't intend) to deliver a significantly better model than GPT-4 almost over a year. And OpenAI does not seem to hide their own magical "AGI" behind the scene as they've been more focused on efficiency and engineering works reportedly, primarily driven by Sam, rather than developing a new model. I'm reasonably sure that the current transformer itself as an architecture is at its peak and most improvements will be mostly incremental.
