New MIT research shows a frontier model directly editing a smaller model’s weights, while Anthropic signals accelerating AI-led research. NLW explores what these developments actually demonstrate, why GrokBot’s rising costs are reigniting the debate over AI subsidies, and whether faster model improvements will translate into wider adoption—or run into the same organizational barriers holding businesses back today.
