Inference Compute is Just the Prelude: Training on New Knowledge Will Trigger a Phase Change
flowersslop · x · 2026-08-02
The author points out that it is impressive enough that current frontier models (like Astra, Mythos, etc.) spend thousands of dollars and days to solve complex math problems at inference time.
However, the real paradigm shift will happen with the next generation of models. Once these newly generated insights and solutions are actually used to train the models, the leap in capabilities will be far beyond what we see today.
