It's been an interesting few weeks for cosmology. To me, the new precision BAO data points from DESI look like quite a decent fit to the best-fit (DESI+CMB) standard ΛCDM model (central point in this figure). Shifts in the model parameters (open to solid points) are not that large.

According to Musk’s xAI latest model, things are going well for them.

Our take on interpretation of DESI results.

Understanding acoustic scale observations: the one-sided fight against $Λ$
The cosmic microwave background (CMB) and baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO) provide precise measurements of the cosmic expansion history through the comoving acoustic scale. The CMB angular scale mea...
