One Sentence Summary
Garry Tan argues that model distillation will allow users at all price points to benefit from AI intelligence as it scales toward superintelligence.
Summary
Responding to concerns about AI becoming a 'luxury good,' Garry Tan explains the role of 'mother models' in distilling intelligence into smaller, more affordable models. He posits that this technical process ensures that benefits of advancing AI and eventual superintelligence will be accessible across the entire ability-to-pay curve, rather than being restricted to the wealthy.
