An 8B model that's more accurate and cheaper…

It's more accurate than GPT‑5, and cheaper. This is about a small model with 8 billion parameters.

Over the weekend I watched Professor Choi Ye‑jin’s talk on YouTube. It was the “Beyond Scale: The Art of (Artificial) Reasoning and Discovery” event held on September 29 at the New York Korea Society. She is a Stanford professor, a MacArthur Fellow, and a two‑time Time “AI 100” honoree. One sentence ran through the nearly hour‑long presentation: “The expansion of intelligence will continue, but we must achieve it in smarter ways.”

<p>Professor Choi opened his talk with the story of David and Goliath, but emphasized that you can’t just sit idle waiting for David to appear. He wrapped up with this: nothing is gained without pain, and the biggest adversary in collaboration is the ego.</p>
<p>Most domestic companies aren’t Goliaths, which makes this lecture all the more welcome. Even without the largest model or the most GPUs, an organization that designs when to invoke which model, selects the right data, and commits effort through to the end can win. Is our company’s AI initiative competing on scale or on design?</p>
