Patrick Collison Hypes MSL's Muse Spark Speed-to-Intelligence Chart
Description
A dark-mode X (Twitter) post by verified Patrick Collison (@patrickc, 1h) reading: 'Congratulations to Alex and the whole team at MSL. As a sucker for all things speedy (patrickcollison.com/fast), I thought this was an impressive chart:'. The embedded chart is titled 'Model intelligence relative to lab formation date', plotting Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index (y-axis, 0-65) against Days Since Formation (x-axis, 0-5000+) as step lines for five labs: Anthropic (orange), Google (green), MSL (red), OpenAI (black), and xAI (purple). MSL's red line is a near-vertical spike reaching ~52 within a few hundred days of formation, while OpenAI and Google take 3000-5000+ days to reach similar scores; xAI and Anthropic sit in between. Below is a quoted post from Alexandr Wang (@alexandr_wang, 3h) with a benchmark table thumbnail: '1/ today we're releasing muse spark, the first model from MSL. nine months ago we rebuilt our ai stack from scratch. new infrastructure, new architecture, new data pipelines. muse spark is the result of that work, and now it powers meta ai.' followed by a thread emoji. The chart implicitly flatters Meta Superintelligence Labs by anchoring on lab formation date rather than absolute capability or the field's accumulated prior art

Measuring intelligence per days-since-formation is the lab equivalent of a greenfield rewrite demoing faster than the legacy monolith - easy when someone else spent a decade building the roadmap you're stepping on
Nothing speedruns frontier AI like running `git init` on a decade of Meta infrastructure.

I don't think channel post can reply to anything, and in the backing channel chat (getting to which is a bit of black magic), where this post is just a message - also doesn't show it being a reply Comment deleted
it can, and it is a long-time feature the reply post in question is https://t.me/dev_meme/7012 Comment deleted
just because of how comments under posts work you can't view them in the chat Comment deleted
(ok, nvm, I was looking in comments view, but it does actually show old post if I go back to channel) Comment deleted
charts used to make data more comprehensible, not the other way Comment deleted
