## Quote — verbatim

> I agree with the small models taking over, because we see the data in Akash as well... Have you noticed ChatGPT forgot how to code?... It's not really how big a model gets that can evolve to AGI. I think it's going to be the smaller models that are way better at coding or performing individual tasks.

Endorsing Ritual's swarm-of-specialized-models AGI thesis with Akash usage data; hedges that transformer/diffusion hybrids are evolving fast and calls GPT-4o "promising... good at overall things."
