Local Models Poised to Control Frontier AI

The author posits that humanity's inherent skill in tool utilization will extend to the realm of advanced artificial intelligence. Specifically, they predict that smaller, local AI models will evolve to effectively manage and operate larger, more powerful "frontier" models. This approach is expected to become the standard method for task execution. The rationale behind this prediction is that local models can serve as efficient intermediaries, consuming minimal power and incurring lower operational costs while still harnessing the superior intelligence of frontier models in specific domains.
