Llion Jones, a co-author of the original Transformer paper and CTO of Sakana AI, is now openly frustrated with the dominant architecture that powers most LLMs. This is the clearest signal that the industry’s scaling-only approach is hitting a foundational wall. Sakana is pioneering next-generation, self-adaptive designs like 'Transformer²' and 'Continuous Thought Machines' (CTMs). The next major AI breakthrough will not come from building bigger models, but from a radical architectural paradigm shift toward efficiency and lifelong learning.
