The next wave of AI won’t be driven by LLMs. Here’s what investors should focus on instead
Apple just published a paper that subtly acknowledges what many in the artificial intelligence (AI) community have been hinting at for some time: Large language models (LLMs) are approaching their limits. These systems—like OpenAI’s GPT-4—have dazzled the world with their ability to generate human-like text, answer complex questions, and assist in tasks across industries. But behind the curtain of excitement, it’s becoming clear that we may be hitting a plateau. This isn’t just Apple’s perspective. AI experts like Gary Marcus have been sounding the alarm for years, warning that LLMs, despite their brilliance, are running into significant limitations.
