LLMs like GPT-4o, Mistral, GROK, or LLaMA in 2025… Are they truly technological innovations, or just the result of steady technical progress?<\/p>\n

To answer that, we first need to clarify the difference between these two concepts \ud83d\udc47<\/p>\n

I used to confuse them myself.<\/p>\n

And I still see many companies diving headfirst into ‘innovation’…<\/p>\n

When a good old technical improvement might have done the job just as well \ud83d\udc40<\/p>\n

So let\u2019s clear things up \ud83d\udc47<\/p>\n

Technological Innovation<\/h2>\n

According to the Frascati Manual, a technological innovation is the implementation of a new or significantly improved product (good or service) or process, based on the results of experimental development and R&D<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

In short, it\u2019s about creating a disruptive solution, introducing new use cases, or even redefining a market by setting a new standard for value and expectations.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not about tweaking the old, it\u2019s about changing the game.<\/p>\n
