It seems roughly on track. Progress is patchy - you still can't have a robot come round and make coffee but on more abstract stuff like IQ tests they passed 100 last year and recently got 136 https://cryptoslate.com/openais-o3-scores-136-on-mensa-norway-test-surpassing-98-of-human-population/ https://cryptoslate.com/openais-o3-scores-136-on-mensa-norwa...
