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.

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

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

Google Gemini model.

My OpenAI thought experiment: $500B to $1.5T?

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

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View

If I put it into Claude or GPT-4, it doesn't work as well.

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

And I think that that is an interesting observation.

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

The models will have many different classes of capabilities.

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

And the question is, will you be able to serve a sufficient portfolio of them?

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

And I do think that these open source models will be something of a threat.

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

Let's just come back to the original question, which is, would you be a buyer or a seller of OpenAI at that price?

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

My simplified math, which I'll talk about tomorrow in my essay, did suggest, and it surprised me, that there is this sort of path.

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

It's not beyond the bounds of reasoning.

It was a really fun thought experiment.
