Frontier AI Model
Large-scale foundation models representing the current frontier of AI capability, characterized by the largest parameter counts and highest training costs, which can reach hundreds of millions of dollars. Their capability boundaries remain incompletely understood, and they are considered to carry the highest potential risks, making them a central subject of AI safety and regulatory discussions.

Timeline (last 90 days)
Training frontier models is extremely costly, often requiring tens of thousands of specialized accelerator chips and massive amounts of high-quality data, so only a few institutions worldwide have the ability to invest continuously.
Frontier AI generally refers to the most powerful AI systems at the current boundary of technological capability, whose parameter scale, training compute, or emergent capabilities significantly surpass existing levels.
What makes frontier models special is that they hit the "stupidity floor" less frequently, with the overall floor significantly raised
Training a frontier AI model routinely requires hundreds of millions of dollars in computing investment.
