The Big Picture: Shifts in AI Development and Power Dynamics
Looking to the future, three major shifts seem imminent:
1. Rise of Efficiency-First AI Development
With resource constraints becoming the norm, companies will prioritize creating AI models that deliver maximum performance with minimal hardware. Deepseek’s success with R1 — acquiring GPT-4-level results with fewer resources — exemplifies this trend. As constraints tighten, the emphasis on algorithmic efficiency will become a key competitive advantage.
