There's a world where frontier models run away with a faster exponential and still go bust due to being outcompeted on efficiency.

There's a point past which "intelligence" stops mattering as much, and IMO we're already there.

Consider which would be more useful (and profitable for its creator): a model that is 3x/5x/10x as "intelligent" as Mythos, for whatever your favorite yardstick of intelligence is? Or a model that is as "intelligent" as Opus 4.5, but can run at reasonable speed on a typical consumer laptop/cell phone?
