More curves are bending. In mid-August Nate Rush & I posted an analysis of which discovery curves are starting to bend. What's happened since then?
Cyber vulnerabilities: curve is still bent. Discovery of vulnerabilities is accelerating even further, though exploited vulnerabilities remain fairly flat.
Math: curve is further bent. We said there was a likely acceleration for small-scale problems. Since then there has been a claimed Millennium prize resolution, & credible rumors of another. All frequently-updated databases of open problems seem to be proceeding at a rapid rate.
Algorithms: curve is now bending. Two high profile algorithmic competitions have had big curve-bending events: NanoGPT, and the Hutter compression prize. Other frequently-updated series remain relatively unchanged: CIFAR-10, Stockfish, matrix-multiplication exponent.
More observations below.
