I don’t think four months without a major breakthrough is cause to abandon all hope just yet. ;) The wild pace of LLM development is highly atypical, and we’re still in the ‘initial rush’ phase of development.

For contrast, the Newcomen steam engine (widely considered the first commercially useful engine) was used for over 60 years before the next major improvements. Now, 300 years later, we’re still finding ways to significantly improve heat engines.
