AI Frontier Models: The Cutting Edge Explained

What is a Frontier Model?

A frontier model represents the current state-of-the-art in AI capabilities - the most advanced AI systems that push the boundaries of what's possible.

• Exhibits capabilities at or beyond the current cutting edge

• Often requires massive computational resources to train

• Demonstrates emergent abilities not seen in smaller models

• Sets new benchmarks for AI performance across tasks

Think of frontier models as the Formula 1 cars of AI - they showcase what's technically possible, even if not yet practical for everyday use.
