Two years on, lateinteraction's RISC/CISC bifurcation prediction for foundation models is coming true
lateinteraction · x · 2026-09-19
lateinteraction quotes his own two-year-old prediction: work like o3 suggests future foundation models will diverge like RISC and CISC architectures. Developers will express system specifications in extremely high-level languages, and compilers will translate those into a few RISC — or many CISC — instructions. He now sees that bifurcation actually happening.
