The bitter lesson says scale compute. Reality says that's hard without losing independence. An AI grid fixes this.
The bitter lesson tells us to scale compute to unlock frontier AI progress. The empirical record confirms this. Focused, independent teams have demonstrated extraordinary output per unit of compute in recent years. Anthropic/Claude in code, Black Forest Labs/Flux in image generation, Luma in video generation, ElevenLabs and Sesame in speech and conversation - are all teams that have produced state of the art outputs in a rapid amount of time relative to non-bitter-lesson pilled approaches. The optimal unit of frontier progress is a focused, talent-dense team with access to enormous…
