Seonglae ChoMore intelligence for free by scaling
Andrej Karpathy said that It will be surprisingly small since the current models are wasting a ton of capacity remembering stuff that does not matter. There will be a cognitive core (math, physics, computing, predicting) like human brain similar to brain’s layered structure.
AI Scaling is not Everything. In a same sense, techniques like reasoning incentive and memory scaffolding might help, but there's no guarantee they will solve core deficits.
Recommended that training tokens should be scaled linearly with model size. The constraints on scaling test-time compute approach differ substantially from those of LLM pretraining.
- Pretraining Scaling is reaching its limits due to finite data.
- Reasoning Model scaling through CoT and AI Agent evolves reasoning capability.
- Due to Compounding Error, increasing threat to ensuring AI Alignment

AI Scaling Methods
Scaling Law (OpenAI 2020)
Primate neural architecture that’s really scalable in comparison to the brains of other kinds of species, analogous to how transformers have better scaling curves than LSTMs and RNNs.

3 ways AI is scaling helpful technologies worldwide
AI I was first introduced to neural networks as an undergraduate in 1990. Back then, many people in the AI community were excited about the potential of neural networks, which were impressive, but couldn't yet accomplish important, real-world tasks. I was excited, too!
