Explains test-time training through the analogy of a GPS learning a persistent shortcut around daily traffic rather than a one-time reroute: the model takes a gradient step on the prompt it's answering, so its weights change as it works. Traces three ...

State of the art models are two-thirds smarter than last November & labs ship two new models every three days. But 84% of tokens on OpenRouter are not state of the art. The six models carrying the supermajority deliver about 77% of frontier ...
