Argues that LLMs are powerful but not universal, showing concrete alternatives: TP PFM pretrains transformers for spreadsheets, T-Rex and XLSTM return strong zero‑shot time‑series forecasting, Kronos 2 and Sundial beat rivals on multivariate and tokenized series, ConfExt V2 and DinoV3 give competitive vision results (with CNN distillation), All‑Tracker achieves real‑time optical flow, Malmo ACT and Gemini hit 45.1% on ARC, and a 7M‑parameter recursive model reaches 8% on ARC AGI2 — practical wins and surprising small‑model results.
