Hey, have you heard what’s going on with OpenAI and all these big AI companies? Apparently, they’re hitting some real roadblocks trying to build even bigger language models. For a while, they just kept scaling up—adding more data, more computing power—thinking that would keep making AI better. But now, that strategy is stalling.
Ilya Sutskever, one of OpenAI’s co-founders, said that just making models bigger isn’t cutting it anymore. Instead, they’re trying to teach AI to “think” in more human-like ways. The costs are insane—tens of millions on hardware—and it can take months before they even know if a model works! It’s wild to think they might be on the brink of something new in AI, a kind of rediscovery phase, because scaling up just isn't enough.
It's like the AI race is about to change directions, and everyone’s scrambling to figure out what comes next.
