AI's future: Small, specialized models to replace LLMs

The future of AI may see large language models (LLMs) replaced by smaller, specialized models or knowledge trees. These smaller, efficient models could cater to specific domains like finance, business management, software debugging, or education. This shift is likened to the rise of small mammals after the dinosaur extinction, suggesting that the current era of large models will pave the way for more normalized, specialized AI. AI
