Reading guide
Robin notes that AI technology is advancing rapidly. Major companies keep releasing new large models, and benchmark systems are used to assess their accuracy. His personal view is that scores of 93, 95, or 96 may make little difference to end users’ experience. Rather than spending time and resources gaining another benchmark point, companies should deploy the technology in real use cases and make the entire user experience smoother. This is his personal opinion, not a benchmark research finding.
Key points
- Major companies keep releasing new large models and comparing benchmark scores.
- A few points of difference may have little effect on users’ actual experience; this is a personal view.
- Use resources to improve real applications and the user experience.
