   Our readingThere will be no overnight intelligence explosion, because a model's best work takes so much test-time compute that time itself is the bottleneck.

   scaling laws

   Their wordsand I don't think we're headed to that world largely because of the fact that the models rely so much on large scale test time compute in order to achieve um their greatest intelligence. If you if it requires so much test time on compute to unlock the full capabilities of the model, then that means you're bottlenecked by time
