Yeah, about a year ago the labs figured out that effective intelligence is a function of persistence as much as anything else. So the models started getting scary persistent late last year, and the trend has continued. There was another jump a few months ago.

I used to do business automation work in day job, and there are surprising utility-to-humans differences between "manual" -> "helps interactively" -> "99% automated" -> "100% automated". In the latter 2 categories, you almost don't care about runtime for most use cases, because meatbags require 8 hours of sleep / day. As long as you have sufficient hardware+electricity to throw at the problem, that's a lot of time to inefficiently finish something. (Also: a lot of time for a model to get up to god-knows-what in a poorly sandboxed consumer environment... but that's a problem for future society)
