On Moonshots, Ramez Naam pointed to the brain’s modest power needs and children’s ability to learn from relatively little data. Co-host Alex countered with a rack of chips producing text thousands of times faster than one writer. Their disagreement connects AI’s energy bill to a larger question: how much improvement can more computation buy?
BDH-CQ’s authors report solving 118 of 400 public ARC-AGI-1 tasks at an estimated inference cost of $0.00070 per task, with up to two candidate answers. On Moonshots, Emad Mostaque welcomed architectural experimentation; panelist Alex questioned whether this design offered progress beyond a specialized benchmark.
xAI’s August 12 release puts Grok 4.6 alongside GPT-5.6 Sol Max in its launch benchmark table, with pricing aimed at sustained agent work. The Moonshots panel’s debate was about the next step: whether training on other models’ reasoning can only help a challenger catch up, and what computing infrastructure it takes to move beyond that.
