Hi,

Thinks are definitively accelerating. I really would
like to use an AI that knows about all the News of today.
This bloody cut date is so annoying.

Further indicative that AI is accelerating:

In August 2025, Sam Altman dropped a bombshell:

*months, not years: Rushing GPT-6*
In August 2025, Sam Altman dropped a bombshell:
GPT-6 is already in development and coming sooner
than you think. Not in two years, but
potentially in months.

Karpathy, coined vibe coding, released in October 2025:

*nanochat: The best ChatGPT that $100 can buy*
This repo is a full-stack implementation of an
LLM like ChatGPT in a single, clean, minimal,
hackable, dependency-lite codebase. nanochat is
designed to run on a single 8XH100 node via
scripts like speedrun.sh, that run the
entire pipeline start to end.
