alt Hacker NewsSpending 4 years evaluating something that’s changing every month means almost nothing, sorry.
Almost every post exalting these models’ capabilities talks about how good they’ve gotten since November 2025. That’s barely 90 days ago.
So it’s not about “you’re doing it wrong”. It’s about “if you last tried it more than 3 months ago, your information is already outdated”

No need to be sorry. Because, if we accept that premise, you just countered your own argument.
If me evaluating these things for the past 4 years "means almost nothing" because they are changing sooo rapidly...then by the same logic, any experience with them also "means almost nothing". If the timeframe to get any experience with these models befor said experience becomes irelevant is as short as 90 days, then there is barely any difference between someone with experience and someone just starting out.
Meaning, under that premise, as long as I know how to code, I can evaluate these models, no matter how little I use them.
Luckily for me though, that's not the case anyway because...

...guessss what: I try these almost every week. It's part of my job to do so.
