Left the best part until the end. Scaling models larger is still paying off for openai. It’s not AGI yet, but how much bigger will a model need to get to max out?
>The scaling hypothesis is the idea that we may have most of the pieces in place needed to build AGI and that most of the remaining work will be taking existing methods and scaling them up to larger models and bigger datasets. If the era of scaling was over then we should probably expect AGI to be much further away. The fact the scaling laws continue to hold is strongly suggestive of shorter timelines.
