Watching the bound shrink

I have always been impressed with the polymath project. Now they are improving Zhang's new bound on the twin prime conjecture. Here is a plot of progress so far:

Not sure one can make any conclusion other than it is awesome to follow it. The behaviour seems to be a bit of punctuated equilibrium, with "experimental" bounds branching off from the lead bound. It will be fun to see where it is going.
