Author Discusses Trend of Intelligence Compression
adonis_singh · x · 2026-07-12
The post discusses a trend of "intelligence compression": since GPT-4, most models have stayed at 1T–5T scale, only now beginning to advance toward 10T.
The author uses the example of Grok-4.5 being smaller than GPT-4 to question the intuition that "smaller models should be bearish", implying capability improvement does not necessarily rely solely on larger parameter counts.
