new models like Fable were scoring 30%. wouldnt be suprised if very soon we eclipse 50%

Engram layers just move the coordination problem earlier and lock it in. Coordination problems between models & providers would still exist, requiring a layer injection in each open source model and another variant produced for each. Users would still need to chose between "Qwen-8b" and "Qwen-8b-engram" x model families and sizes. Is that cleaner?

Building all your transportation yourself—whether by breeding horses or assembling a Model T—cuts you off from that accumulated experience. You lose the benefits of thousands of hours spent by others thinking carefully about the same problems.

I have no objection to Model Ts for personal use, but I wouldn’t be one-tenth the traveler I am without constant exposure to well-bred horses.

Some worry cars make horses obsolete—who needs breeders if anyone can buy an engine? I’m more optimistic. As cars proliferate, people will value good horses more. A Model T gets you the first 90%; it’s the last 90%—judgment, robustness, and adaptability—that differentiates."
