[!info] Author: PicoCreator | Published: 2025-03-24 | Source: Twitter [!abstract]+ TLDR Why it matters: Transformers have reached a scaling wall, making current models like GPT-4.5 unsustainable and costly without clear advancement toward AGI. What’s happening: Experts like Yann LeCun and Demis Hassabis recognize the need for new architectures and predict a decade before AGI is feasible. The solution: A shift towards smaller, more reliable, and personalizable models using innovative designs like RWKV, which focus on memory and efficient scaling, is proposed.
