Wasn't the model winning gold in IMO result of a breakthrough? I doubt an stochastic parrot can solve math at IMO level...

As far as we know, it was "just" scale on depth (model capability) and breadth (multiple agents working at the same time).

Why wouldn't it? I still have to hear one convincing argument how our brain isn't working as a function of probable next best actions. When you look at amoebas work, and animals that are somewhere between them and us in intelligence, and then us, it is a very similar kind of progression we see with current LLMs, from almost no state of the world, to a pretty solid one.
We had one breakthrough a couple of years ago with GPT-3, where we found that neural networks / transformers + scale does wonders. Everything else has been a smooth continuous improvement. Compare today's announcement to Genie-2[1] release less than 1 year ago.
The speed is insane, but not surprising if you put in context on how fast AI is advancing. Again, nothing _new_. Just absurdly fast continuous progress.
