I mean the underlying tech still can’t do math. It just has the tooling to call a python script to do it. If you don’t let it execute commands or call tools it can’t do math.
Also I feel like part of the reason they’re “topping out” is cost. We’re getting “reduced rates” here and it’s still astronomically more expensive to let one of these run free than it is for a human to use one in a targeted fashion.

Actually I disagree with this. Inference costs are plummeting due to architectural improvements. Tool harnesses are getting a whole lot better in general. There’s tons of unpicked fruit there. But my argument is that pure parameter scaling is leading to diminishing returns in absolute performance.
