Demis Hassabis and YC's Garry Tan both noted that engineers using AI tools are now producing 500 to 1,000 times the output they were just six months prior. The shift is driven by agents and fast distilled models that hit 95% of frontier capability at a fraction of the cost, enabling iteration speed that more than compensates for the small quality gap.
