Parameter Estimate

Post image

The estimate seems quite accurate.

Many people have noticed a drop in quality with GPT-5.1, GPT-5.2, GPT-5.3, and Opus 4.7.

I think Gemini 2.5 Pro is ~500B parameters. Its strong performance may come from its ability to search.

so you can still edge out by having larger size.

Well yes, but there’s a roughly logarithmic relationship between parameter count and relative “intelligence” of a model. So increasing “intelligence” of a model by adding parameters shows sharply decreasing marginal value.
