I think this will turn out to be wrong, and not just because I suspect there are greater returns to more intelligent models than people expect Economic value comes from agents, not chatbots. And accuracy drives how long a task an agent can do: small gains compound exponentially! To register a little prediction, I think better and better models will be cost-efficient to fewer and fewer customers. Most people use AI to do stuff for which it really is already approaching a kind of “AGI for dummies.” So high end models will have to justify their cost by prov…
