A new project, MCR, proposes that artificial general intelligence (AGI) may not require massive GPUs or large language models (LLMs). Instead, it suggests that a single, simple mathematical equation, inspired by Markov's 1906 work, can learn and process information across multiple levels of abstraction, from bytes to planning and memory. The MCR project claims this equation, implemented in a small amount of Python code, can operate without external dependencies and offers a potential paradigm shift from the current industry focus on scaling model size.
