Account @thelogicalgate claims all major frontier labs have hit the scaling wall and are pushing regulation to protect trillion-dollar investments, pointing to postponed Grok releases and models being dialed back after launch as evidence.
Replier Promptmethus finds the theory plausible: labs are increasingly challenging heavyweight mathematical formalism and open problems to probe where new scaling limits might lie. Note these are unverified speculations, not official statements.
