Executive summary: A new AI scaling paradigm that allows scaling inference-time compute to compete with training compute could lead to rapid capability increases in both closed and open-source models, potentially enabling misuse by malicious actors.
Key points:
OpenAI’s new “o1” model demonstrates that scaling inference time can significantly boost AI capabilities.
This paradigm could accelerate AI progress for both closed-source labs and open-source communities.
Frontier labs may soon be able to run powerful models for days, potentially leading to AGI-level capabilities.
Open-source models could be enhanced to perform complex reasoning tasks, lowering barriers to powerful AI.
There is a risk of malicious actors using these enhanced models for harmful purposes.
The rapid pace of development leaves little time to prepare for potential consequences.
