Reposted by NathanEthan Mollick @emollick.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Qualitatively, there is now a larger gap between open & closed models than there has been in awhile. Fable/Astra class models are agentic in a way pre-Fable models are not, for better or worse. None of the open models have crossed that line, yet. When they do, it will be a jump. 7754

Reposted by NathanAri Drennen @aridrennen.bsky.social · 24/09/2026This is an unpopular take but as a neurodivergent self-employed person, LLM's have been an unbelievably helpful tool for the things I have struggled with my whole adult life: managing my finances, filling out paperwork, and staying on top of my email.

At a given level of performance, cost has fallen ~47%/quarter since 2023.
