0:00 smaller models that are open weight models, they can outperform the frontier models on a specialized task within the company, right? It's like a compliance review queue. If you train it on 100,000 compliance cases within Coinbase proprietary data, a small open weight model can actually outperform a frontier model. And so I think you're going to see in this marketplace a bunch of specialist agents. It might be like, "Hey, this agent is just really good at ordering you pizza." If that's if that's what you want. Or this agent is like an really incredible designer. And that's all it's been trained on is like tons of proprietary Figma data or something like that. So it'll be interesting to see how the agentic economy evolves. There'll be more agents than humans in the not-too-distant future. It kind of stands to reason that the agentic economy will be bigger than the human economy at some point in the not-too-distant future as well.
Summary
- Smaller models can excel in specific tasks using proprietary data.
- Examples include agents specialized in tasks like ordering pizza or design.
- The rise of specialized AI agents could lead to a larger agentic economy.
- The number of AI agents may soon exceed the human workforce.
- The agentic economy is expected to grow significantly, potentially surpassing the human economy.
