First: it's a joke. Second: the US justice system is also a joke. I could fight Google in justice and win in my country (France) and in pretty much any other developed country because a working system doesn't let big actor DoS sma

This. When the US government decides to label you “terrorist organization”, it means that you are now targeted by the most potent state actor on earth, which will go as far as blowing up weddings in your neighborhood to stop you. So unless

That sounds like a dumb strategy because if non-evil people sit on individual pieces of the puzzle waiting to solve it in full google loses most of the advantage of having a multi-layer system…

That'd be too restrictive, but to get improvement in a particular domain you definitely need to train specifically for it. Just cramming more random internet text in a bigger model has stopped being a effective way of scaling since at

It's a lifetime on things that are explicitly being trained on ! But small models like Luna didn't magically become more powerful than SotA models on stuff that they weren't explicitly trained on with a dedicated RL-pipeline

I don't think it's a great rebuttal, quite the opposite actually: it's the same prompt with the most obvioy tweak you can imagine and the results are all the same. That definitely looks like it's been something the model

When you see how good the output of the Luna model without reasoning is compared to SotA just a year and a half ago, it's pretty clear that it's been trained on explicitly.

It's kind of ironic that the word alignment, which used to mean this very problem in reinforcement learning, has been perverted to mean something very different and then fell out of fashion (in favor of “guardrails” in the mouth of th

Only if you double layers by layers instead of the whole stack (which IIRC is what nanbeige is doing). To put it simply, if you have 3 layers A-B-C then A-A-B-B-C-C requires more compute but not more memory bandwidth, but A-B-C-A-B-C requir

The CCP is also well aware that it's facing a dramatic demographic contraction so they better prepare for that.

Same as fishing or hunting, or foraging blueberry or blackberries while hiking, there's some primal reward in gathering your own food (occasionally, that is).

I guess if you had a billion dollar you could assemble an ML team and fine-tune a frontier LLM specifically for that purpose through RL, and it could work better than your local pharmacologist, but I doubt anyone would bother doing that. So

Yup, it varies between runs (depending on the seed, most likely), but since the knowledge is here it wouldn't be too hard to nudge the model in the right direction with grpo alone.

AFAIK, the “large” qualifier came when transformers allowed to scale the size of language models compared to the recurrent models that where in fashion before. And although BERT isn't large by today's standard, it was large enou

Sure but you can't say “the numbers are flat hence nothing is happening” when the numbers aren't in fact flat. Maybe it's trending up for completely unrelated reasons, as it's very hard in economics to derive the actual

The key problem for Europe is that they don't want to take strong enough actions against US tech to let their own actors develop. Which is how China has reached tech dominance, and how even a shithole country like Russia can have their
