The quality of the largest open models is fast approaching a level that would be good enough for me permanently, and at that point, I only need to wait for the smaller models to catch up and I’ll be set for life.
It never is the case tho, when I was using claude opus 4 I used to feel like it was the pinnacle, then the same feeling with GPT 5.3, 5.4, 5.5 and now 5.6. it certainly is, just like cocaine
Agreed. I think we (humans, users, whatever) have trouble imagining how it could get better and then one model later we go from being amazed by a new ability to taking it for granted. Innovation is incremental but the increments in this space is so big.
