AI in 2025: gestalt — LessWrong
December 9, 2025
My view: compared to last year, AI is much more impressive but not proportionally more useful. They improved on some things they were explicitly optimised for (coding, vision, OCR, benchmarks), and did not hugely improve on everything else. Progress is thus (still!) consistent with current frontier training bringing more things in-distribution rather than generalising very far.
