Do we?

Have you used it?

What is "meaningfully" better? It's not 3-4 orders of magnitude better. That is definitely happening for smaller models.

What do you mean by 3-4 orders of magnitude better? Was Einstein 3-4 order of magnitude better than us?

Meaningful in the sense it could find security vulnerabilities in browser and kernel that >99% of the engineers couldn't find.

I'm talking about output quality compared to parameter size.

Mythos is not 4 orders of magnitude larger than Opus - it's quite possible no LLM model ever reaches that size (likely even), and it's output is only barely better...

Where did 4 order of magnitude even come from? If I were to guess it is just 5x larger based on the pricing, so not even 1 order of magnitude.

Again can you define this. How would 4 order of magnitude better look like?
