The article discusses advancements in AI models, particularly the development of the next generation Qwen with a focus on reinforcement learning (RL) and scaling computational resources to approach Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). Experts emphasize the importance of aligning AI models with practical use cases due to the commoditization of language models (LLMs). Justin St-Maurice mentions that operational efficiency is crucial in the race for profitability, highlighting that high-performing AI models do not necessarily need to be expensive. He further critiques assumptions about LLM operational costs in light of emerging competition from models out of China.
"As we work towards developing the next generation of Qwen, we are confident that combining stronger foundation models with RL powered by scaled computational resources will propel us closer to achieving Artificial General Intelligence (AGI)."
"OpenAI is rumored to want to charge a $20K/month price tag for a 'PhD intelligence' ... The high-performing models out of China challenge the assumption that LLMs need to be operationally expensive."
