# Frontier Labs Need Portfolio Discipline for Compute Experiments

## Observation

A field report describes running many ML experiments through strict prioritization, comparable measurements, and early termination instead of treating compute as an unlimited resource.

## Why it matters

This dated record adds public evidence to the verification bandwidth is the scarce resource analysis and keeps the claim auditable as the underlying products and practices change.

## Provenance

Normalized from QWG AI Telegram message 2617. The original Russian-language record remains available at https://t.me/qwgai/2617.
