Those have been around for a long long time, you may be focusing on anecdotes but the adoption numbers and performance trends speak for themselves and we’ve had performance trends for years.

I think we're in agreement then; the point I was responded to was saying your blog was evidence-driven, and we can both agree it's not -- at least to the standard that would pass peer-review.
If you want indisputable, data-driven information about the state of the LLM world I guess you can wait for a peer-reviewed academic paper?
