AI in 2024: A year of plateau and new directions

As 2024 concludes, the AI landscape is experiencing a significant shift. The rapid advancements that characterized previous years, such as the development of GPT-3.5 and GPT-4, have led to a plateau in the AI arms race. Major players like OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic are realizing that simply increasing model size and data volume is no longer yielding the expected results.

The focus is shifting from scaling models to exploring innovative applications and practical use cases. OpenAI's Orion model, despite being on par with GPT-4, highlights the challenges of training data quality and the rising costs of AI development. As the industry looks ahead, the emphasis will be on meaningful advancements rather than just larger models.

• AI arms race has plateaued as companies seek new directions.

• High-quality data and costs are major challenges for AI development.
