> The leading Chinese models are only a few months behind now

I hear that often, but what does that even mean? I am a great proponent of open weights models. I do believe they are the only reason we have not stagnated into a collusion of halting (public) model releases.

But exactly which point in time is z.ai compared to claude.ai? Consistently bring "6 months behind" in an exponentially acellerating evolution means the gap is growing exponentially wider, not constant.

"an exponentially acellerating evolution"

Oh? Exponentially accelerating, huh? That's quite a surprise, to me.

Sure we can nitpick semantics, but how would you describe the evolution in GenAI SWE capability over the last 18 months?
