Part 2/3:

The article highlights that companies like OpenAI are now shifting their focus towards improving the reasoning capabilities of their AI models, rather than simply scaling up the size of their training datasets and computational power. This shift is driven by the realization that simply increasing the scale of LLMs may not lead to a commensurate increase in intelligence, but rather better memorization and skill-based performance.

The S-Curve of AI Development

The article presents a visual representation of the S-curve of AI development, where periods of rapid growth are followed by plateaus and the emergence of new paradigms. The current situation, where LLMs are facing limitations in their ability to scale, is seen as a transition point where the industry is searching for the next breakthrough in AI capabilities.
