The author argues that current social media evaluations of various public models are irrelevant; the sole key to AI development lies in the race to achieve fully automated AI R&D. Rather than focusing on GPT-6 or models from Meta and xAI, attention should be directed toward the future of inventing entirely new AI architectures using massive GPUs. A cited tweet also shared industry rumors: Anthropic is currently in the lead, followed closely by OpenAI, with Google lagging significantly behind, while Meta, xAI, and Chinese labs are currently on par with Google.
