Ziming Liu: Foundation Model is dead, Meta Model is future
ZimingLiu11 · x · 2026-08-30
Ziming Liu proposes an evolution from expert systems to foundation models, and finally to "Meta Models." A Meta Model is a unified model designed to automatically create specialized models for specific tasks. Citing the No-Free-Lunch theorem, the paper argues that every task has an optimal architecture. LLMs provide a way to automate the design of these specialized models, addressing the conflict between infinite tasks and limited human research capacity.
