Scaling Inference Compute is the Next Frontier for AI Models
JFPuget · x · 2026-08-02
JFPuget echoed Noam Brown's assertion that scaling inference compute is the next frontier in AI development.
Brown argues that comparing models by a single metric has been obsolete since 2024, as intelligence is now fundamentally a function of inference compute. The metrics that truly matter are intelligence per token or per dollar, especially when deployed in practical products like Codex where inference depth dictates performance.
