Did Moltbook just pop the bubble?

Here's something that might just shake up the AI hype — Moltbook, a recent project, seems to challenge the idea that AI models are always headed upward. According to /u/Sonic_Improv on Reddit, Moltbook's approach looks like it might have burst the bubble of over-expectation around AI capabilities. What’s interesting is that instead of just building bigger models, Moltbook focuses on smarter, more efficient training techniques — kind of like shifting gears instead of revving the engine harder. This could mean a shift in how we think about AI progress, moving away from endless scale increases to smarter innovations. As /u/Sonic_Improv points out, it’s a reminder that sometimes, less is more, and breakthroughs don’t always look like bigger models — they look like better ones. So what does this all mean for the future of AI? Well, it’s worth watching whether this sparks a new wave of real progress or just a pause in the hype train.
