Was an LLM really necessary to write this article? The LLM fluff glosses over a few interesting points/questions:
- Is the current claude debacle the result of compute supply that cannot match the demand? Or is it that Anthropic is being pressed to monetize its work?
- If LLM inference quality is downshifted because of those constraints, that becomes a very real problem for the end users as it effectively amounts to rug-pulling the product. It is plausible that this eventually materializes itself into the consumer/enterprise plans. E.g. paying up for "high IQ" models and not just token usage.
- As another comment here noted, this is all driving the commodification + privatization of intelligence. The competitive landscape is changing and the effectiveness of "high IQ" models and those that can afford them may very well be table stakes going forward thanks to the (manufactured?) scarcity.
