“"A good way to see AI swarms is as a new form of inference-scaling," he says.”
“It seems highly unlikely that generation times can be brought arbitrarily close to zero. This provides an important kind of barrier to singular growth... One would expect the generation time for training the next generation of models to bottom out at some unyielding finite limit”
