There's a hardware component here too though.

I think hybrid photonic AI chips handling some of the workload are supposed to hit in 2025 at the latest, and some of the research on gains is very promising.

So we may see timelines continue to accelerate as broader market shifts occur outside just software and models.

hybrid photonic AI chips handling some of the workload> working in photonics, read/reviewed papers about that and personly feel it's unlikely to happen in the next 5 years. The low density of integration, no usable nonlinearity beyond your photodetector and prohibitivly power inefficient conversion between analog(photonics) and digital make them hard to beat your Nvidia card.

Considering most people are talking about AGI being a thing (at least) 10-20 years from now... 5 years seems applicable.
