I'm still convinced the model advancements are largely US firms jingling a set of keys in front of investors/markets/the public to distract while they scramble to build serious patent moats around the harness/orchestration/infrastructure technologies.
I think that we're well into diminishing returns already. The models have improved, but to me the far bigger advances have been in feeding them contexts, building them into loops, etc.
I don't even think much more construction is really necessary in data centers. We can do a lot more with the power/HVAC we have, especially once the ASICs start coming online.
It's like we invented the wheel in 2022, the crowds are fighting over capital to build wheel factories, and savvier tech firms are quietly patenting automobile designs while everyone's focused on making slightly rounder wheels.
