AI intelligence is becoming more efficient and accessible over time. In AI, 'parameters' refer to the adjustable variables within a model that determine its capacity to learn, not the amount of training data itself.

LG today developed a model, EXAONEDeep, which is said to rival OpenAI’s o1 in performance while using only 4% of the parameters required for o1. This suggests that powerful AI can be achieved with fewer resources. LG’s model is also open-source, making it freely available.

For comparison, DeepSeek’s R1 model, trained on 671 billion parameters, is a leading open-source example, while LG’s EXAONE, potentially with 32 billion parameters, outperforms it. Such advancements could drive significant growth in AI, potentially paving the way for artificial general intelligence and super intelligence in the future.
