2026: The Year AI Gets Practical - From Massive Models to Small, Smart SystemsThe podcast episode explores the shift in AI focus from large models to smaller, more efficient systems. Experts predict that AI will be embedded in everyday tools and devices, moving away from flashy demos to real-world use. The hype around scaling up models like GPT-3 is fading, with pioneers like Yann Le Cun and Ilya Sutskever warning of plateauing pre-training results. Small language models (SLMs) are gaining traction, offering accuracy, cost-effectiveness, and speed. World models are also heating up, teaching AI to understand 3D spaces like humans do. Agents are becoming more realistic with protocols like Anthropics MCP. The future of AI is less about replacing jobs and more about augmenting humans, with hiring booms in AI safety and governance.
