How to read an AI benchmark without getting fooled
A checklist for reading AI benchmark results, from sample size and contamination to saturation, so you can tell a real capability jump from a rounding error.
Compute, data, algorithms: the three levers behind AI progress
AI capability grows when you add compute, add data, or use them more efficiently. Here is how each lever works, how fast it has been moving, and what could slow it down.
