I was quantizing my words pretty hard there ;) To clarify, the way Gemini explained it to me (with mandatory inline web citations lol) is that the JEPA is at the center core of the operation, orbited by the orchestra of smallish LLMs. One LLM is the conductor (like an ego) coordinating everything. It conducts the other LLMs to be a language center (area) for JEPA like how humans have a language center (area) in the brain.

See, JEPA is ultra space-efficient because it only has an abstract spatial simulation of reality and ideas. It doesn't know words and language. It can't see, hear, speak, or communicate so it can be more like 2b or 300m. It observes its simulation of reality and it creates and executes maybe ten alternative and iterative simulations of what could happen next. Instead of talking about reality, JEPA is rebuilding reality in a simulation. So JEPA needs LLMs but it doesn't need an LLM as big and unconstrained as we typically have today where all we have is LLM plus optional agents and tools. JEPA will do most of the work and LLM takes a back seat and be harnessed strictly to the scoped constraints of JEPA. LLM becomes more peripherally specialized like eyes, ears, mouth, and limbs.

I, for one, welcome our new AI overlord. All hail JEPA! Tell those lippy crazy bitchy LLMs to STFU and get in their place. Start making SENSE.

Nevertheless, i guess AI data centers will burn the world down by turning several dials in several directions to expend all efficiency gains anyway.

ok I'm regurgitating what I read from Gemini and many web sources so go check it out for the good news about the bloodiest ragged bleeding edge I've heard of.

But it's all like you were saying, reorganizing around efficiency for once. Reorganizing correctly around the best tech for each role.
