Enzo Blindow: prediction

18 Oct 2025 Machine Learning Street Talk The Secret Engine of AI - Prolific [Sponsored] (Sara Saab, Enzo Blindow)

“They are very, very heavy foundational models with lots and lots of capabilities, where also tons of the fine tuned models are effectively descendants of these models. So the more effort we put into the foundational model, we will ultimately benefit also all of the descendants and derivatives of these models.”

Transcript context

…What do you think the major risks are of getting this wrong? Because they are no longer very fragmented models with very narrow targets. They are very, very heavy foundational models with lots and lots of capabilities, where also tons of the fine tuned models are effectively descendants of these models. So the more effort we put into the foundational model, we will ultimately benefit also all of the descendants and derivatives of these models. So if we're not careful about how we design them, we will potentially have far reaching consequences. Yeah, so you're saying we should uphold the phylogenetic health of the LLM ecosystem. So you know, like the evolutionary tree of all of the models because there'll be all of these downstream effects, know, like problems will be compounded.…
