The Twenty Minute VC (20VC): Venture Capital | Startup Funding | The Pitch · 20VC: Are OpenAI and Anthropic Overvalued? The Open-Source AI Reality | How Token Costs Will Fall 10x And Usage Will Explode 100x | The Future Is Not One AGI; It's Millions of Specialised Models with Lin Qiao, Founder and CEO @ Fireworks · 20 Jul 2026 podcast

It's much better that way.

so that's one step function there are many step function we have seen through but i see those as every year or every three quarters there's a major leap but at the same time build on top of those the best based models and i can see the specialization start to accelerate because as i said it's really like a tree right there's so many branches and leaves that can possibly hang out on the on the trunk

And as the base model quality start to have step function leaps, and there's so much more we can do to specialize.

So I do see in the world specialization is going to accelerate much faster than the general intelligence part.

That's a very interesting question.

I think there were precedents of that.

If we think about the foundation tier of those general intelligence model as fundamentally a base infrastructure for the big economy to operate around, there has been precedents of like PG&E owns electricity and the gas and so on.

So what I don't want to see is there's only one company owns intelligence.

I think that doesn't make sense to me.

Because there are different flavors of intelligence.

There's this general common intelligence that benefits everyone.

And then there's a specialized intelligence that actually helps us advance in history to think differently, to create a new paradigm of living or a new paradigm of doing business and shaping the industry.

I don't want that to die because there's only one company that can do that.

I don't think that makes sense.

I think so.

You can argue they're the best builder because they deeply understand their use case and they have the evals.

So again, my thinking of what is a frontier is not just this one model.

The frontier could be your special routing mechanism for your business.

And you decompose that based on, hey, in order to fulfill this task and you need a highly intelligent layer, maybe the most expensive closed models to judge at the highest complexity.

And usually people will also be a subagent to solve smaller problem.
