Considering the fact that current models were trained on top-notch books, those read and studied by the most brilliant engineers, the models are pretty dumb.
They are more like the thing which enabled computers to work with and digest text instead of just code. The fact that they can parrot pretty interesting relationships from the texts they've consumed kind of proofs that they are capable of statistically "understanding" what we're trying to talk with them about, so it's a pretty good interface.
But going back to the really valuable content of the books they've been trained on, they just don't understand it. There's other AI which needs to get created which can really learn the concepts taught in those books instead of just the words and the value of the proximities between them.
To learn that other missing part will require hardware just as uniquely powerful and flexible as what Nvidia has to offer. Those companies now optimizing for inference and LLM training will be good at it and have their market share, but they need to ensure that their entire stack is as capable of Nvidia's stack, if they also want to be part of future developments. I don't know if Tenstorrent or Groq are capable of doing this, but I doubt it.
