Optimizing AI performance by “scaling” is lazy and wasteful.

Reminds me of back in the early 2000s when someone would say don’t worry about performance, GHz will always go up.

[–] PixelatedSaturn@lemmy.world 27 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Thing is, same as with GHz, you have to do it as much as you can until the gains get too small. You do that, then you move on to the next optimization. Like ai has and is now optimizing test time compute, token quality, and other areas.

To be fair, GHz did go up. Granted, it's not why modern processors are faster and more efficient.

It always wins in the end though. Look up the bitter lesson.
