What if AGI comes from a small outlet and not from major frontier labs?

Experts increasingly believe that Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) will emerge from a complex, multi-part ecosystem or "system architecture" rather than a single neural network. This perspective suggests that AGI might not originate solely from major frontier labs. Instead, a lean, hyper-focused team excelling in pure software engineering and creative routing could develop AGI just as effectively, if not more quickly, than larger organizations.
