Episode notes
Frontier Models Accelerated Release Cycles
- GPT-5.2 and Gemini 3 defined 2025 as a frontier model year with accelerated iteration cycles.
- Rapid releases forced labs into 'code red' modes and shortened development timelines across the industry.
Energy Is The New Bottleneck
- Energy and physical infrastructure became the primary bottleneck for scaling large models.
- Companies increasingly run data centers 'island mode' to avoid grid interruptions during training.
Reasoning Models Changed Outputs
- Reasoning-capable models (O1 and successors) shifted AI from instant responses to multi-step thought processes.
- That shift improved outcomes and is being replicated across many providers.
