Has rate of progress increased? How does one measure that? Genuinely curious - would be very interesting to map out the "effectiveness" of each AI model vs how long it took to train/release.

From my perspective, the model gains are mostly incremental now and a lot of the gains are just from things like improving the agent harnesses. I could be wrong though.

On the front page right now is the newest announcement from Xiaomi serving large model at over 1,000 tok/s on standard server gpus.

Every facet of the field is being pushed on and advanced at the same time.
