Beyond the AI Hype: What's Real, What's Next
summary
Generative models actually scale into products: a token-based GPT lineage goes from GPT‑3 at 175 billion parameters to multi‑modal GPT‑4 and an optimized GPT‑5, fueled by Microsoft investments (roughly $1B then $10–13B) and a viral ChatGPT rollout that hits 100 million users in two months. Code copilots ship usable completions, DeepSeek shows smaller models can work, and research systems like AlphaFold deliver concrete wins—protein folds predicted for ~200 million proteins—while costs, data‑center land grabs and deepfake risks create real economic and ethical tradeoffs.
