There’s a Pareto frontier where Meta is pushing out the boundaries along the “private” and “cheap” axes.

Open AI can release GPT 4.5 or 5 and push out the boundary in the direction of “correctness” and “multimodality”.

Either way, we win as customers while the the level of competition remains this hot.

I personally want a smart AI much more than a cheap or fast one. Your mileage may vary.

Well, Pareto is about optimisation, not either/or. I want a model that’s smart enough, while also being locally-executable.

I don’t know whether/when we’ll get there, and whether it will be improvements in models, or underlying model technology, or GPU/TPUs with larger memory at a consumer price point, or something else, that will deliver it.

That's just the middle of the Pareto frontier. Some people want one corner, others the other corner. It's like compression. You can have light compression and high speed, vice-versa, or a balance. You want balance. I want one of the corners.
