Latest findings suggest leading AI research facilities such as OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google face challenges in creating next-generation models because they’re finding it hard to source high-quality data for training purposes. However, former Google CEO Eric Schmidt has refuted these claims, stating that Large Language Models (LLMs) are progressing at an extraordinary pace. In his words, “There’s no proof yet that the scaling laws have plateaued. They will eventually reach a limit, but we’re not there yet.
