Predictions made
open Peter Diamandis: A productivity boom or the inverse, depending on the launch outcome.
“You can see you're just reaching that level now across just about everything.”
Your call:
open Unknown: GPT-5 will lead to a significant step towards AGI, but it isn't AGI yet.
“GPT5 is a significant step on our way to AGI which also means it isn't AGI yet.”
Your call:
open Unknown: The launch was uncoordinated and lacked the expected showmanship.
“There was a lot of uh sort of pre-event tweeting and buzzing or exing and buzzing uh about something huge is coming. And I don't know why a Death Star, you know, but a lot of people talked about it already.”
Your call:
open Unknown: The real impact will come from the cost reduction and accessibility of AI models.
“I think the real power will come in the cost drop which will make it much more accessible to a lot of people and I think downstream in a couple of months as people start building applications and GPTs and special agents on top of this then we're going to see some really big surprises which I'm looking forward to.”
Your call:
open Emad: There will be a competitive market with incremental improvements in AI models, rather than a single dominant model.
“So I'm excited by the fact that there's not one breakout.”
Your call:
open Alex: Google and OpenAI will compete on the cost-performance frontier.
“And by the way, we're going to make all these charts available to our subscribers.”
Your call:
open Unknown: By the end of 2026, AI will be able to solve 35-40% of hard math problems.
“we're starting to reach 15 to 20% of hard math problems being solvable by AI. Project that forward another year, so by the end of 2026, you get to 35 to 40% of math, hard math being solved.”
Your call:
open Unknown: By the end of 2027, AI will be able to solve 70% of hard math problems.
“projected forward to 2027, end of year, you get to 70%.”
Your call:
open Unknown: There will be vertical alignment between coding companies and their LLM partners.
“And so you're going to see this vertical alignment and also already people all over Twitter or X are saying hey when I use it through its kind of native platform through the canvas it works much much better than if I try and select it through something like lovable or or replet and so everyone's speculating that they're they're doing kind of what Microsoft always used to do.”
Your call:
open Unknown: The AI race will continue with OpenAI and Anthropic competing for market share and API revenue.
“The AI wars continue.”
Your call:
open Emad: By next year, the key thing is to get the right data, especially from Fountain Life, and have AI constantly analyzing it to figure out stuff proactively.
“by next year I think we'll be at the point where the key thing is you get the right data especially like Fountain Hell has so much and then you just have AI just going constantly because what you want is for it to figure out stuff proactively as you feed it the data.”
Your call:
open Unknown: Hyperdelation will spread to the rest of the economy, leading to an abundance state.
“That this leads to Peter's abundance state, I think.”
