This week
- Putting the kettle on...
Is AI actually getting better?
Yes. Each line is the record on one hard test: the best score any AI model has posted, by the model's release date.
Which AI is getting better fastest?
Each lab's best model now against its best a year ago, on Epoch's Capabilities Index: one score built from 50+ tests, set so that GPT-5 is 150. Longer line, bigger jump. (Models a few points apart are within the margin of error, so no fan wars.)
Data: Epoch AI (CC BY 4.0), who run and collect these tests. These are records set by the best models, so the free chatbot on your phone won't score this high.
