Blogger predicts 2027: every major AI lab will match OpenAI's superintelligence
Dr_Singularity · x · 2026-09-11
Blogger DrSingularity argues that by 2027, Anthropic, Meta, Google, SpaceX (xAI), and multiple Chinese labs will each have reasoning models at least as capable as OpenAI's current "super AI" that can solve Navier–Stokes-level problems, with OpenAI's lead under a year.
Key claims:
- These labs could soon flood the world with scientific breakthroughs in parallel, potentially delivering batches of 10+ major discoveries at once;
- Compute will be vastly more abundant and running tens of thousands of AI agents could become 100x cheaper than today;
- Google and SpaceX/xAI, given their compute scale, may catch up within weeks.
