Brin says Gemini 4 puts Google on the 'RSI treadmill'; critics demand hard data
daveholtz · x · 2026-10-15
Sergey Brin said Google is "starting to get on that RSI treadmill" with Gemini 4, with researchers now working hand in hand with models to build the next version. Critics push back that RSI has become a buzzword conveying little actual uplift, and call on Google to publish automation-level charts like Anthropic's (Claude now leads 26% of model R&D tasks at Anthropic, up from 1% in March) or task-complexity-vs-success-rate curves like OpenAI's.
