I think the tech analogy for frontier models is going to be super computers.

Super computers keep getting better but most people don't need them for most things.

2000's supercomputer is today's (highest end) smartphone performance tho

		Yeah. And if you compare the AI you can run on a high end smart phone today to AI of the 2000s, today's smart phone probably wins. In 10 or 20 years maybe we'll all be running AI models that are currently considered "frontier" on smart phone type devices.
