There seem to be a lot of breakthroughs being announced right now. My guess is that after ChatGPT, companies like Meta pushed their teams to get their own projects out the door which they'd already been working on for some time. SAM and Zero-1-to-3 (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35242193) are incredibly impressive new projects in the image comprehension side. Then of course there's all the stuff happening with Midjourney/Stable Diffusion. And DeepMind's AlphaCode.

I’d say after ChatGPT’s success every other company is focusing far more on scaling up than coming up with new methods. SAM is basically the method they came up with in 2021, but scaled up to 1 billion masks, which was not something Meta might have been willing to do before ChatGPT
