Frontier Labs Are Chasing Completely Different Definitions of AGI Progress
A sharp observation from AI Twitter: OpenAI is proving math conjectures, Anthropic is finding all the vulnerabilities, DeepSeek is eliminating context limits, and Google is optimizing batch sizes. These aren't just different benchmarks — they're different philosophies of intelligence.
The AGI race looks less like a race and more like four companies running in four different directions. As @teortaxesTex observed: "OpenAI: 'we've disproven an old conjecture in math.' Anthropic: 'we've discovered ALL the vulnerabilities.' DeepSeek: 'we've made context free.' Google DeepMind: 'we've reduced the batch size for Flash.'" Each claim represents a genuine technical milestone. But lined up together, they reveal how deeply the labs disagree about what progress even means.
