Shifting Research Priorities in AI

In a previous era of AI development, research heavily prioritized creating novel model architectures and improving training techniques, while the process of generating outputs from a trained model was a lesser focus. Today, with the rise of very large, powerful models, there is a significant resurgence in research dedicated to optimizing this output generation process. Which statement best analyzes the underlying reason for this cyclical shift in research priorities?
