03DEEP DIVES & ANALYSIS

STATE OF FOUNDATION MODELS 2025

VC analysis reveals 1 in 8 workers globally now use AI monthly, and frontier model training costs hitting $500M although most frontier models are surpassed within 3 weeks. The report documents unprecedented revenue growth (some startups scaling $0-$20M in 60 days), reasoning models emerging as the new scaling frontier, and predicts AGI within 3 years.

DON'T BUILD MULTI-AGENTS

The makers of Devin challenge popular frameworks like OpenAI's Swarm by arguing that parallel subagents create fragile systems due to context-sharing failures and conflicting decision-making. Their approach prioritizes single-threaded agents with full context traces, backed by real-world examples from Claude Code and internal Devin architecture decisions.

HOW FAR CAN REASONING MODELS SCALE?

OpenAI's reasoning models like o3 have rapidly improved, but further scaling of its techniques might be limited. Reasoning training, which significantly enhances models post-pre-training, currently uses less compute than the largest training runs, suggesting room for growth. However, challenges like data constraints and the importance of innovations beyond just compute scaling could impact future progress.

META POACHES THREE OPENAI RESEARCHERS

Meta has poached three OpenAI researchers to join its superintelligence efforts. Lucas Beyer, Alexander Kolesnikov, and Xiaohua Zhai were all working in OpenAI's Zurich office and they worked together at Google DeepMind before that. Meta has been on an intense recruiting drive headed by CEO Mark Zuckerberg. The company plans to spend up to $65 billion on capital expenditures this year largely to build out its AI ambitions.

PETE BUTTIGIEG WARNS AMERICA IS "DANGEROUSLY UNDERPREPARED" FOR AI

In a Substack post, the potential 2028 presidential candidate argues that AI will reshape work, wealth, and citizenship faster than a high school student can graduate—yet neither Trump nor Democrats have articulated clear AI policies. AI will likely be the #1 challenge for world leaders.
