模拟接管AI：10%更差，100倍便宜，10000倍更快
原标题：[AINews] 10% worse, 100x cheaper, 10000x faster: Why Simulation is taking over
AI 摘要
Latent Space 的 AINews 文章提出，自 2022 年以来，AI 流水线中越来越多的组件从人类制造转向模型制造，形成“模拟”趋势：性能略差（10%），但成本更低（100 倍）且速度更快（10000 倍）。文章按阶段梳理了从奖励信号、训练数据、教师模型、课程设计到研究者、环境乃至人类主体的合成化进程，并引用 InstructGPT、Phi、Alpaca、DeepSeek-R1、AlphaEvolve、Karpathy 的 autoresearch 以及 Z.ai 的 GLM-5.3 等案例。作者认为，这种“模拟”正在接管 AI 发展，未来已来但尚未完全生产化。

By AI standards today is a pretty quiet Friday, so it’s time to take a step back and reflect on what is really going on. If you read our 2025 reading list, and followed our coverage of Z.ai GLM, understood the Poolside pivot, been following our AI for Science themes, and tuned in to today’s Simile pod, you not only are one of the biggest readers of Latent Space, you will probably also arrive at this mental model: Every year since 2022, one more component of the pipeline that produces machine int
