    LLMs now surpass top human experts on some research problems

    AINoam Brown says LLMs have crossed a threshold by surpassing top human experts on some research problems, a jump that makes the recent surge in math results feel sudden. He expects breakthroughs in other domains to follow as models keep improving, though capabilities remain jagged and often still weaker than humans.
