is Moving Up the Feeding Chain: In this exploration, we use our title not just as a catchy phrase, but as a metaphor encapsulating the remarkable evolution of artificial intelligence. There is a significant shift in the dynamics of technological ecosystems, where AI is no longer just a passive tool but is becoming a more active and central player.

This narrative goes beyond mere technological improvement; it delves into how AI is fundamentally advancing, altering its role and impact within the technological ecosystem.

This progression is not just about incremental enhancements; it's a story of AI developing newfound

start with an analogy between the recent developments in AI technology and military strategies. In military operations, the use of smaller, specialized units (platoons) to carry out specific tasks in support of the larger mission is a wellestablished strategy. These units are often more agile, can respond quickly to changing conditions, and are tailored to specific operational needs, much like the smaller AI models (TinyML) being created by larger AI systems.

Our flow chart is in a military style, depicting AI creating smaller AI programs to complete an overall mission. the prominent, large AI central unit is at the top. each smaller unit is depicted branching out from the central AI.

deployed for reconnaissance, targeted strikes, or specific operations, supporting the broader goals of the larger force.

In this context, the larger AI models can be likened to a central command structure that orchestrates the overall strategy and objectives. They create and deploy these smaller, specialized AI units to handle specific tasks more efficiently and effectively than a larger, general-purpose force could. This mirrors military tactics where smaller units are

This analogy presents the significance of the latest AI advancements. Just as in military operations where the effectiveness of the whole is enhanced by the specialized capabilities of its parts, the AI ecosystem is becoming more robust and capable as larger models create and deploy these smaller, task-specific models. It represents a strategic approach to deploying AI resources, maximizing efficiency, effectiveness, and adaptability.

These novel forms of communication, often not immediately comprehensible to humans, are AI's way of optimizing efficiency in data transmission and processing. This is not just technological advancement; it's a testament to AI's potential for creativity and problemsolving.

This evolution is vividly illustrated in the latest research, where large AI models, like those behind ChatGPT, are autonomously generating smaller, task-specific AI models, known as TinyML. This development is groundbreaking.

It's not merely about AI enhancing its coding or communication capabilities; it's about AI assuming the role of a designer, meticulously crafting and fine-tuning tools for specific functions.

The real-world implications of these smaller AI models are vast. Far from being abstract tech concepts, they hold immense potential in practical applications, ranging from consumer electronics to medical devices. This represents a paradigm shift from AI as a theoretical construct to a practical, tangible technology with far-reaching impacts.
