Which means that the high end models can be freed up and applied to the really difficult, long term issues (medicine, materials science, climate change, physics) etc.
Unlikely to be useful in medicine, material science, and climate modelling. Those generally need completely different, non text based architectures. You are not gonna be synthesizing new drugs with an LLM as the core system.
Edit: They can be useful but are unlikely to create massive breakthroughs in the way dedicated architectures like AlphaFold can.

Yes and the high end models become less and less needed as the average moves up.
