Developers unable to predict AI model capability changes and plan product roadmaps accordingly
Developers building AI-powered applications face existential uncertainty about when the next major capability leap will occur, making it impossible to plan feature development, pricing strategies, and competitive positioning. Current solutions (release notes, benchmarks) fail to provide predictive insight into the pace and magnitude of AI improvements, leaving builders in a constant state of anxiety about their technical decisions becoming obsolete. This creates decision paralysis for those investing in AI infrastructure and product development.

This feels like another moment, like earlier this year, and the year prior. I am thrilled for my use cases in the applications that I build with CC, and for the LLM API usage that I sell. However, it honestly scares the crap out out of me. Is "the exponential" an actual thing?...
