Is it? It might be possible that it's a scam, but for something to be "obvious" it has to release first.

There are plenty of ways to reduce inference cost for a high-intelligence model. Making sparser weights, for example, can increase the parameter count while reducing the inference cost and time.

I get what you’re saying, but I still think that it will be a scam. Bookmark this thread and let’s continue the conversation after it’s released.

I think you are informed by more of an emotional interest than a technical one, here. You've written several such posts and many of them are astronomically unlikely predictions.

Ok but didn’t Karpathy make it clear that we live in the vibe era? I’m inclined to trust vibes more than technical jargon, and boy are the vibes off with what’s been happening!

Let’s see what happens :)
