Cost of hitting hard math and science benchmark scores is collapsing

Ethan Mollick shares a chart showing the cost of reaching 25% or 75% scores on various hard math and science benchmarks is falling fast while model ability rises, so optimizing only for cost now may be short-sighted.

This is a really important graph showing the cost of achieving 25% or 75% scores in various hard math and science benchmarks. Costs are collapsing even as ability is increasing It is also why optimizing for cost for a particular solution right now may end up being short sighted https://t.co/BQKUyuTHRR
