ImportAI 449: LLMs training other LLMs; 72B distributed training run; computer vision is harder than generative text
LLMs are now training other LLMs. Computer vision just got harder than text generation.
The KeyNews take
Why it matters
This analysis surfaces emerging AI capability shifts—LLMs as trainers and the surprising complexity gap between vision and language—that challenge conventional scaling assumptions and reshape where AI development resources should flow.
