Researcher laments GDM's release pace: models announced are already past SotA
BlackHC · x · 2026-11-11
AI researcher BlackHC criticizes Google DeepMind's release cadence: from GDM's perspective, announcing models that are no longer SotA by the time they actually ship is "a pretty sad look".
When countered with a sarcastic "I thought we were supposed to pace the AGI?", he clarifies he's speaking out of sympathy for GDM — the frontier race has made announcements stale before release. A snapshot of frontier-lab racing culture discourse.
