This is peak bubble type news. AI is becoming rapidly more energy efficient. These events will be looked back on like pets.com reaching hundreds of millions and then dying.
Is it becoming useful yet?
Sometimes. As a tool, not an outsourced human, oracle, or some transcendent companion con artists like Altman are trying to sell.
See how grounded this interview is, from a company with a model trained on peanuts compared to ChatGPT, and that takes even less to run:

They talk about how the next release will be very small/lightweight, and more task focused. How important gaining efficiency through architecture (not scaling up) is now. They even touch on how their own models are starting to be useful utilities in their workflows, and specifically not miraculous worker replacements.
Yes, as far as scalability, cheaper more efficient models can be used in applications which require thousands of uses a day.
lol
okay lmao
