Model Upgrade Cycle Shrinks to 1.5 Months

The author points out that the loop of "collecting user data → training and releasing model upgrades" has shrunk to roughly 1.5 months. This is a significant acceleration compared to the approximate 6-month release cadence seen between 2023 and 2025.
This reflects a tightening closed loop among model iteration, data feedback, and version releases, resulting in much higher update frequencies.
