> You can test this very easily with running old models w/ new cradles. They don't perform well at all.

This is because neither the LLMs nor the cradles are intelligent.

Exactly. Because they are essentially a single, brittle model. Not a "smart" text generator + a "smart" validation system.

LLMs are an enormous breakthrough in NLP and something like it will be part of an AGI system. But there is no path to AGI without more breakthroughs.
