Anthropic data suggests AI progress might be slowing down
Floch11 · reddit · 2026-08-18
A Reddit user analyzes Anthropic's data suggesting that the rate of AI progress may be decelerating. Despite the release of multiple generations since April's "major leap" Mythos Preview, the gap between Mythos 5 and the unreleased Model 2 is only about 1.5 AECI points, based on limited data. The author argues this contradicts the claim that "AI is getting better faster and faster," potentially indicating a slowdown in advancement over time.
