UnverifiedA growing number of researchers believe that simply scaling up model size cannot solve the discovery problem, and that real progress comes from system-level design.62% similarUnverifiedWhen researchers invest all their resources into improving solo operational capability, they are optimizing for a scenario that does not truly exist in practice.62% similarUnverifiedThe author argues that model size should match task boundaries rather than blindly pursuing scale; for tasks with clear boundaries, a small model is not a compromise but the correct size.61% similarUnverifiedEffort is an amplifier, while model tier is the capability ceiling; adding thinking budget to a smaller model cannot bridge the capability gap inherent to the model itself.60% similarUnverifiedThe quality ceiling of self-generated tasks is constrained by the model's own capabilities, and how to ensure the diversity and verifiability of self-generated data remains an open question.60% similar
