Part 8/15:
While specialization might seem advantageous for efficiency, the current trajectory favors integrated omni models because of their versatility. A robot, for example, being capable of both advanced math and physical navigation within one model, makes the system more adaptable and scalable.
Economics and efficiency considerations further reinforce this: highly capable, specialized models may perform impressively but at significant hardware and energy costs. The trend favors broad, multi-modal models that can be distilled into lighter, task-specific derivatives later — all while maintaining the core understanding of multiple domains.
