It reignites a debate about the feasibility of developing increasingly advanced models and AI scaling laws — the theoretical rules about how the models improve.
It remains to be seen how smart an AI model can get when it has that much capital thrown at it.
There could also be strategies to make AI models smarter by enhancing the inference portion of development.
The model OpenAI released in September — called OpenAI o1 — focused more on inference improvements.
Still, it's clear that, like Altman, much of the industry remains firm in its conviction that scaling laws are the driver of AI performance.
