The transcript segments this claim was taken from
“can do under even some like the highest reasoning efforts and so it's not necessarily just about cost or Pareto efficiency but in some cases you can push beyond it when you have access to data that no one else has one way to characterize this is in terms of compute efficiencies so by having access to this data you can be that much more compute efficient compared to you know some of the frontier models”Play from 54:03Report a misattribution
