OpenAI o1's Complex Formula Derivation Proves Intelligence Is No Longer a Moat

_arohan_ · x · 2026-07-29

Tech KOL @arohan shared a profound moment regarding the evolution of AI reasoning capabilities. Reflecting on 2024, he noted that when OpenAI's o1 model successfully derived a complex formula (involving DLD divergence), it made him realize that raw intelligence is no longer a moat.

He added that by 2025, next-generation models like Gemini 2.5 Pro have demonstrated the exact same capacity for complex derivation, further confirming that foundational reasoning abilities are rapidly becoming commoditized by frontier LLMs.
