Extended Inference and Plunging Costs Could Accelerate ASI

Model intelligence is increasingly becoming a function of test-time compute, turning inference length into an adjustable intelligence dial. By enabling mass self-replication of models with extended inference and drastically reducing costs, ASI could arrive before AGI to solve major challenges in math, medicine, and energy.
