Why AI Progress Is About to SLOW DOWN

AI has a big architectural problem, and right now nobody has a fix that doesn’t cost something. In 2017, a paper called “Attention Is All You Need” changed AI forever. Attention is what helped ChatGPT and Claude work really well to begin with. Arguably without it those systems would've never come into existence. It’s also why today’s models need so much setup and careful context management, and why no AI can run a huge, complex project for months without losing the information it needs to keep doing the job right. I break down tokens, context windows, and why every conversation takes up real GPU memory. Then I get into why the fixes labs are trying, like compression, all come with a cost, and why getting past this wall may take way more compute and energy than people realize. #ai #languagemodels #ainews #airesearch
