The article argues that serious AI companies are moving from wrapping general models to training their own specialized models using proprietary interaction data, as specialisation now routinely matches or beats frontier models for in-distribution agentic tasks, driving better unit economics.
AI research is splitting into groups that can train and groups that can only fine tune
Discussion on how compute access is becoming the primary driver of AI progress, creating a divide between organizations that can train large models and those limited to fine-tuning existing foundation models.
Can tech companies learn to love cheaper AI models?
TechCrunch reports on a potential industry shift as companies consider switching to cheaper, smaller AI models instead of always using the most powerful ones, driven by escalating costs. Predictions like Brian Armstrong's suggest 80% of workloads could run on 99% cheaper models within 12-18 months, which would significantly impact major AI labs like OpenAI and Anthropic.
