Still hard to expect the unexpected with AI. It goes to show how skilled many of the scientists are in China. They're hitting high peaks with much less compute. Overall, I think the US models are really ahead, but you can't just discount the Chinese labs. Not at all.

Why it worked

Opens with a short, self-contained line that is easy to take in at a glance.
The opening line stands alone, so it reads completely before the post is expanded.
Written from experience rather than as advice, which is harder to argue with.
Short enough to read in full without expanding, which removes a step before the point lands.
Short sentences keep the pace up, so the reader never has to re-read a line.
