The larger model (235b) on chat produced rather an impressive answer on a small coding task I gave it. But Qwen-30B-A3B gave a result for the same task worse than Qwen 2.5 does.

"Write a Golang program that merges huge presorted text files, just like sort -m does". Quite often models need "use heap" as guidance, but this time big model figured it out by itself.

So you too have noticed "something" that cannot be quantified as "event" yet. I would say from around 2014 things started to move in strange directions here and there around the world. I am not sure if what is brewing is highly unusual, but I would say it is not something we have seen in a last 50-70 years.

Maybe this IS the demoscene of today? I saw more insanely beautiful computer generated pictures in the last couple years than I saw in previous 10, AI or no AI.

I don't think it will kill "reno and flip" market. It will become "reno and rent-to-buy later", or "reno, hold and sell".
