@ramez It's almost like some companies at the front of the race right now tried to loudly proclaim it was over so they could declare themselves the perpetual winner. Obvious tactic is obvious. It's never going to stop. This is just the continuation of the computer revolution.
@__tinygrad__ @ramez 100% This. And what is best? most intelligent? fastest? cheapest? Personally i'm more interested in intelligence per million params.
@ramez Fair distinction!
A week ago many were saying that the AI race was over. That it was down to just Anthropic and OpenAI. Or that Anthropic had taken a permanent lead. Now we have solid models from OAI, xAI, Meta, and open weight from GLM, with line of sight to Gemini 3.5 Pro, ChatGPT6, and more large open weight models from China. The race seems far from done. It seems, in fact, perpetual to me. There are no strong network effects here. Anyone with sufficient resources can build a frontier or almost-frontier model. It's maybe an order of magnitude cheaper to be a fast follower just a few months behind than to be at the bleeding edge. I don't see RSI changing this. It may give the very frontier models a burst of speed, but RSI will be democratized, just like everything else in AI. There is no evident permanent underclass of AI models. There's a hyper-competitive market for intelligence, and the gains go primarily to the consumers of that intelligence.
