A lot of intelligent things are said here and I love that they're doing the "smarter, not bigger" thing. This is how we bring things beast forward, according to everything that ever caused technological advance, in my experience. Scaling out is dumb advance, and the only party that truly benefits from this push is Nvidia¹.

This isn't related to the living prompt though - it's rather the opposite, where you don't rely on input tokens and low RNG to continuously tune activation but on recursion inside the model to get better results. Error rates is a thing with recursion though.
