Timeline of AI model releases in 2024 (via) VB assembled this detailed timeline of every significant AI model release in 2024, for both API and open weight models.

Timeline diagram showing AI model releases from February to July 2024. Features month headers in purple and entries for each AI model release with name, company, and either "API Only" (red) or "Open Weights" (green) tags. Models include Stable Diffusion 3, Gemini Pro, Claude 3, GPT-4o, Apple Intelligence, Llama 3.1, and many others.

I'd hoped to include something like this in my 2024 review - I'm glad I didn't bother, because VB's is way better than anything I had planned.

VB built it with assistance from DeepSeek v3, incorporating data from this Artificial Intelligence Timeline project by NHLOCAL. The source code (pleasingly simple HTML, CSS and a tiny bit of JavaScript) is on GitHub.
