The trend I've found most interesting is models of the same size getting better.

I'm very much looking forward to seeing how Qwen 3.8 27B compares to Qwen 3.6 27B next week, for example.

And the latest DeepSeek v4 Flash has extremely impressive performance for a 304B model.

The trends you found don't support my goals so I've got some other trends I find more interesting than yours.
