33:44The 10 Trillion Parameter AI Model With 300 IQ
The talk examines what increasingly capable AI models, including a hypothetical 10-trillion-parameter model and OpenAI’s o1, could mean for startups and society. It argues that stronger models may lower the effort needed to build reliable AI products, while competition shifts toward user experience, distribution, and domain expertise. The speakers discuss distillation as a way to make powerful models cheaper to use, and point to growing adoption of Claude, Llama, Cursor, and voice applications among YC companies. They close by considering whether much more capable AI could accelerate scientific discovery and technological progress.
