We are in the endgame now it seems.
Hard to see take-off stopping or slowing down. China open-source basically guarantees it.

It's hard to see takeoff at all. This was a long-horizon adversarial task burning millions of tokens. It rolled a mediocre, detectable exploit chain, and now OpenAI is proud of it.
Case in point, GLM-5.2 has been weights-available for several weeks now. No life-changing cyber attacks have transpired, no novel chemical/biological/nuclear weapons were made in some guy's backyard.

I think it's reasonable to assume that we're close to, or already at superhuman cybersecurity capabilities at certain domains. But reaching superhuman abilities at one domain doesn't guarantee proficiency at others. Our world would still change if all the models could do was to find exploits in software, but this doesn't guarantee any type of 'take off' towards other domains, therefore I wouldn't phrase it as one.
