Hello, I am lost of words honestly. I am feeling a mix of bewilderment, excitement, sadness and gratefulness. Not for this model drop, but for life and this overall development.
A new model just dropped, and it seems like as if this is somehow already twice as fast and large (didn't do the math yet) in autonomous task duration as METR estimated. Probably a lot more.
All I want to say for now is that I am grateful for each and every one of you and for have given me the chance to be part of a community where I did not feel like a black sheep.
Thank you for all of those that are actively trying to make the future go well and the world a bit better. However this continues, I wish you all the love in the world.
I would wait for METR's actual evaluation — '30 hours' is just based on claims of continued effort, not actual successful performance on carefully measured tasks.
