Azalia Mirhoseini: model layer will commoditize, custom chips face a Cambrian explosion
agihouse_org · x · 2026-11-11
At an AGI House event, Azalia Mirhoseini (Ricursive Intelligence, Stanford) argued that open and closed frontier models are within 6–12 months of each other, so the model layer will be commoditized — what matters next is cost per unit of intelligence. She also expects a "Cambrian explosion" of custom chips designed fast enough to co-evolve with the models they run.
