LLM Family Tree: One Year Later

It's been over a year so I decided to update the LLM Family Tree, my foolhardy attempt at tracing the lineage of modern AI.

To me, the biggest changes over the past year weren't the models themselves, but the ever-more-sophisticated harnesses and ecosystems built around them. In short: if your model isn't good at agentic workflows, it's no longer competitive. ChatGPT has had an abrupt fall from grace, and Claude has taken over as the software world's tool of choice - though the competition remains fierce, and it remains to be seen if Anthropic can hold onto that position.

How do you think things will change in the coming year?
