LLMs Are Dying – The New AI Is Killing Them
Author(s): Jose Crespo, PhD

Though Still Haunted by AI’s Fatal Obsession with Euclidean Flatland
Yes, ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, all of them. Brilliant fossils of a linguistic age that’s already ending. They’re decomposing in public, billions are still being spent to polish their coffins: bigger models, longer contexts, more hallucinations per watt.
The article discusses the decline of traditional language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT, positioning them as outdated as the industry pivots towards new AI architectures focused on world modeling rather than text generation. The author introduces a new model called JEPA, suggesting it could bring true intelligence by predicting realities rather than merely processing language. However, criticism persists that JEPA and similar models still adhere to flawed methodologies rooted in outdated mathematical principles, which could lead to further issues in AI development if not addressed. Ultimately, the author argues for a necessary paradigm shift in the understanding and architecture of AI systems.
