Rather large parts of your brain are more generalized, but in particular places we have more specialized areas. Now, you looking at it would consider it all the same brain most likely, but if you're looking at it in systems thinking view, it's a small separate brain with a slightly different task than the rest of the brain.

If 80% of the processors in a cluster are running 'general LLM' and 20% are running 'math LLM' are they the same cluster? Could you host the cluster in a different data center? What if you want to test different math LLM modules out with the general intelligence?




I think I would consider them split when the different modules are interchangeable so there is de facto an interface.

In the case of the brain, while certain functional regions are highly specialized I would not consider them "a small separate brain". Functional regions are not sub-organs.
