Visualization Maps the Singularity from GPT-2 to Today
zakelfassi · x · 2026-08-21
Zak El Fassi released a visualization project called "Frontier Observatory" that tracks the AI frontier progress from GPT-2 to the present day (projected to August 2026) using a polar radar chart format.
- Design Logic: Time serves as the radius, different labs serve as sectors, and key models that moved the frontier are marked as "stars".
- Coverage: Includes the model release timelines of mainstream labs such as OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, xAI, DeepSeek, and Meta.
- Experience: The author used Grok 4.6 to build the chart in a single shot and praised the high quality of the generation.
