An AI!

The specialist vs generalist debate is still open. And for complex problems, sure, having a model that runs on a small galaxy may be worth it. But for most tasks, a fleet of tailor-made smaller models being called on by an agent seems like a solidly-precedented (albeit not singularity-triggering) bet.

not an expert by any means, but wouldn't smaller but highly refined models also output more reproducible results?

intuitively it sounds akin to the unix model...

But then again the main selling point of using LLMs as part of some code that solves a certain business need is that you don't have to finetune a usecase-specific model (like in the mid 2010s), you just prompt engineer a bit and it often magically works.

yea, i agree, thats the biggest selling point right now

i just get the feeling reproducibility, performance and cost will start to become more and more important as time goes on... jmo tho
