Despite this, scale maximalists have implicitly suggested that multimodal models can be a structure-agnostic framework for AGI. While structure-agnostic scale maximalism has succeeded in producing LLMs and LVMs that pass Turing tests, a multimodal scale maximalist approach to AGI will not bear similar fruit.
