While I respect the power of intuition - this may well be a great path - it's worth keeping in mind that this is currently just that. A hunch. Leela got crushed due to AI directed search, what if we can wave a wand and hand all AIs search. Somehow. Magically. Which will then somehow magically trounce current LLMs at domain-specific task.

There's a kernel of truth in there. See the papers on better results via monte carlo search trees (e.g. [1]). See mixture-of-LoRA/LoRA-swarm approaches. (I swear there's a startup using the approach of tons of domain-specific LoRAs, but my brain's not yielding the name)

Augmenting LLM capabilities via _some_ sort of cheaper and more reliable exploration is likely a valid path. It's not GPT-8 next year, though.

Did you happen to remember the domain-specific LoRA startup?

Thank you, that was indeed the one!
