Magic CEO Eric Steinberger says there is only one remaining problem to be solved before reaching AGI and that is spending more inference time compute per token

That is an important part of the solution

Colossus is purely for training, right? Will there be an equivalent inference cluster?

now, while their active reasoning approach makes me curious, I'm not sure if simply smart inference schemes are gonna make the critical difference. system 2 is not just about spending effort and revising thoughts. I sense their approach might lack 'feeling' among others.

feelings are just a system for prioritizing needs

While I respect the Magic CEO, claiming there’s only one remaining hurdle before AGI seems a bit overconfident. The leaders of major labs tend to be more cautious, providing extensive disclaimers with their AGI predictions. It might be wise to add a bit of humility and nuance to such claims.

More time at inference doesn't change the weights, which means the model does not "understand." Sure it will help with known data but not novel data

🤣😂😅🤣🤣🤣😂😂 What???? This guy..

I don't trust any AI company CEOs with a monetary incentive to spread the hype. Analysts who have no financial involvement are much more reliable IMO.
