Slowing Pace of AI Development
Current discussions suggest that the pace of AI development may be slowing down, highlighted by comparisons of growth between GPT-3 to GPT-4 and the anticipated Orion model. Key contributors cite issues such as a shortage of high-quality data, with a significant portion of data now inaccessible due to website restrictions, and ongoing GPU shortages hampering training capabilities. Reports have emerged that traditional scaling methods are yielding diminishing returns, prompting companies like Google to focus on improving algorithms and model reasoning rather than merely increasing compute resources. This shift towards enhancing performance and efficiency in inference time indicates a changing landscape in AI as participants seek innovative breakthroughs to push past apparent ceilings in model capabilities.
