Azeem Azhar's Exponential View
My OpenAI thought experiment: $500B to $1.5T?

And so I think on the consumer side of the business, the fact that they own the word for it will continue to help them for many, many years to come.

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View
My OpenAI thought experiment: $500B to $1.5T?

On the business side, I think it's a really fair question that

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View
My OpenAI thought experiment: $500B to $1.5T?

For many use cases, models will end up super serving that use case.

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View
My OpenAI thought experiment: $500B to $1.5T?

If you need to do something really simple, like get a summary of a meeting, you were probably already at the point where the models are just generally good enough to do that in the same way that vision models a few years ago approached 99% accuracy.

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View
My OpenAI thought experiment: $500B to $1.5T?

Actually, I've made that number up, but they exceeded human accuracy.

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View
My OpenAI thought experiment: $500B to $1.5T?

Let's think about what that means for models.

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View
My OpenAI thought experiment: $500B to $1.5T?

I mean, the truth is I can tell the difference between

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View
My OpenAI thought experiment: $500B to $1.5T?

a ChatGPT output and a Gemini output and a Claude output.

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View
My OpenAI thought experiment: $500B to $1.5T?

Maybe it's because of the custom prompt I've put in ChatGPT.

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View
My OpenAI thought experiment: $500B to $1.5T?

It's given a prompt to be unduly difficult and to not answer my questions directly and to leave with open questions or critical perspectives.

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View
My OpenAI thought experiment: $500B to $1.5T?

and also to push harder than it thinks I might understand.

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View
My OpenAI thought experiment: $500B to $1.5T?

So I'm constantly confused by the answers and I have to put them into another LLM to make sense of them.

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View
My OpenAI thought experiment: $500B to $1.5T?

But my experience there is designed to push me as a cognitive partner.

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View
My OpenAI thought experiment: $500B to $1.5T?

So I can tell the difference.

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View
My OpenAI thought experiment: $500B to $1.5T?

I would also say that in our experience with an exponential view, where we run a bunch of AI-based workflows in the background, helping us with research and analysis, we can also

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View
My OpenAI thought experiment: $500B to $1.5T?

not necessarily tell the difference, but different models perform differently on a cost and latency basis.

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View
My OpenAI thought experiment: $500B to $1.5T?

And does it work for this particular use case?

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View
My OpenAI thought experiment: $500B to $1.5T?

And so, you know, I have a particular workflow which still uses Gemini 2.5 Flash, which is the quick

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View
My OpenAI thought experiment: $500B to $1.5T?

Google Gemini model.

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View
My OpenAI thought experiment: $500B to $1.5T?

If I put it into 2.5 Pro, it doesn't work as well.
