I put together these annotated slides from my five minute lightning talk at PyCon US 2026, using the latest iteration of my annotated presentation tool.

#I presented this lightning talk at PyCon US 2026, attempting to summarize the last six months of developments in LLMs in five minutes.

#Six months is a pretty convenient time period to cover, because it captures what I’ve been calling the November 2025 inflection point. November was a critical month in LLMs, especially for coding.

#For one thing, the supposedly “best” model (depending mostly on vibes) changed hands five times between the three big providers.
