Notes -
So how did LLMs impressed you this week? My case - I had lost original 3mf, but had OrcaSlicer temp folder, which ironically orca can't open. I ask codex-cli to try and reconstruct a proper 3mf. For my astonishment is did on the second try.
They didn't, but mostly because I have been too busy to use them for anything I did not expect them to do by default. Whenever a new and exciting model launches, I stress test it extensively, but for at least a year, the models are good enough for my personal and professional needs. Last time I saw a massive improvement in quality that unlocked entirely new use-cases that blew me away was o3, otherwise I tend to feel slightly impressed.
From memory, GPT-2, 3 and 4, then whatever Claude just came out then, then o1 (from seeing others use it), then R1/o3. Native image gen with a variant of 4o. Those standout. Everything else falls under slightly better in ways that don't stick out.
But I am happy enough with them being good for research or editing my writing, or generating images. If they get significantly better in a manner that is glaringly obvious in normal use, I'm close to worrying (much harder) about losing my job.
