Part 2/9:
Julia McCoin, an AI researcher and commentator, emphasizes that Zero One could usher in a fundamental shift in how GPT and large language models like it operate. Unlike previous models that showed diminishing returns with increased compute, Zero One notably demonstrates increasing returns as more computational resources are applied—particularly during training and testing. This breakthrough suggests that scaling up AI models won’t just make them bigger but inherently more capable in a manner that accelerates progress toward increasingly sophisticated intelligence.
