AI evals are becoming the new compute bottleneck

# AI evals are becoming the new compute bottleneck As AI models get more powerful, companies are spending massive amounts of money and computing power just to *test* whether their AI actually works—sometimes even more than it costs to build the models in the first place. This evaluation problem is becoming so expensive that it's slowing down how fast companies can release new AI products, similar to how a bottleneck in a factory floor slows down production. The real challenge now isn't just building better AI, but figuring out how to quickly and affordably verify that it's actually safe and useful.
