The scaling law in AI suggests that as models grow larger, they will require significantly more computational resources, making them more capital intensive to develop.

OpenAI's new class of reasoning models hints at a potential new direction for scaling AI models.

There is ongoing debate in the AI community about whether we have reached the limits of scaling laws, as the latest models have become larger and more expensive, yet their capabilities seem to be plateauing.

The performance of AI models has been doubling every six months, raising questions about whether we are nearing the end of the era of scaling or just at the beginning of a new paradigm that could revolutionize AI.

As AI technology evolves, the availability of powerful models may increase, potentially making them accessible for free in the future.

2024 has been a remarkable year for startups, with significant funding rounds, including OpenAI raising $6 billion and Scale AI raising $1 billion, showcasing the growth in the AI sector.

The largest AI models, like GPT-4, require massive GPU clusters, with power consumption reaching unprecedented levels, highlighting the increasing scale of AI infrastructure.

The rules of AI businesses are being rewritten; for instance, OpenAI's investment in training models like GPT-4 was speculative but necessary for innovation.

OpenAI has received significant support, including a $1 billion investment from Elon Musk and Sam Altman.
