as a former neuroscientist, can't emphasize how much system one is important to real intelligence
why do we need a dumber but fast model (system one, unconscious) in our brain? it frees the slower but smarter model (system two, conscious) to focus on what really matters, making it a lot better
as a human, i can consciously control my body/hand, etc, but if i do that, i can't really be doing other tasks that require intelligence.
similarly, gpt 6 astra is extremely intelligent, & you can control a robotic hand with it, but if won't be able to do frontier math if it's context window is polluted with robot hand vision/control tokens
combining a powerful smart model with a faster, dumber, but still very intelligent model is the way to go
very excited about this line of research
After co-inventing ChatGPT, I kept asking myself: why have superhuman chat models not led to AGI?
I’ve spent the last 2 years in stealth building a new way to train models (RLCD), and a new type of frontier AI model that we are releasing today: Jev
• 20-200x faster
• 40-400x cheaper (w/ output tokens free)
• Frontier composable intelligence optimized for decisions
AFAICT the shortest path to AI-based economic revolution
