AI giants like Google, Meta, and Microsoft are focused on leading the race for AGI.
Current technology has given rise to unprecedented scaling with AI models predicted to be 50 to 100 times more powerful in five years.
The absence of limiting factors is crucial in AGI's development where rapid scaling is a critical factor.
Eric Schmidt, former Google CEO, predicts the winners in AI's generative revolution will emerge in the next few months.
OpenAI believes it is ahead of the pack with its Strawberry (o1) approach, using synthetic data generated by models like GPT-5 to create a recursive cycle of improvement.
Meta is moving beyond traditional LLMs by focusing on human-like reasoning through autonomous machine intelligence (AMI) and developing systems like Layer Skip and V-JEPA to enhance machines' ability to reason and interact with the world.
Anthropic is experimenting with techniques like dictionary learning and identifying patterns in neuron activations to redefine scaling boundaries.
Google DeepMind is exploring architectures and exploring real-world simulations to improve understanding of complex systems.
Elon Musk's xAI is ambitiously looking to develop AGI with a focus on rigorous truth-seeking systems free from ideological biases and is reportedly raising up to $6 billion to acquire 100,000 NVIDIA chips.
Apple is developing a 'private cloud compute' to run LLMs and striving to make every one of its devices smarter while ensuring privacy.
