Obviously. The standard pattern is that model X is basically AGI and wins all benchmarks, followed the next day by Y and Z, which both win all benchmarks, too.

Then weeks later people find out that they have been duped and complain that the models have been quantized or employ worse inference.

Buy decent coffee instead of your $200 subscription and sidestep all the scams.

You forgot a stage or two:

1: "Our model will bring about the end of all things. Flee, flee for your lives"

2: "Our model is basically AGI"

3: "Our model will be available in limited release next week"

4: "Everybody who subscribes at the $200 level gets access now"

5: "Everybody who subscribes at the $20 level gets access now"

6, at least at Google: "Our model will be shoved down your throat every time you do a search, whether you want it or not"

0. "our model is too dangerous to release to pubic"

Google's search AI actually its too dangerous to release to the public. I have relatives routinely citing it as their source for medical advice.

I have quite strongly told them, in no uncertain terms, that they are going to kill themselves doing that.

Be sure to eat plenty of rocks in your daily diet, they are chock full of valuable minerals!

Well sorry, still have to get decent AI somewhere. Productivity without AI is about 5x less. I am not comfortable with paying Chinese companies, and no Western companies provide subscription-based pricing for open models.

Well I happen to enjoy coffee and $200 AI plans. What if Blue Bottle started watering down it's coffee? Is your answer to stop drinking coffee and make myself tea instead?

Evidence that vendors are being misleading in what they are delivering is important to share, whether or not you personally approve of that product.
