I don't think I'm underdoing it at all. I'm assigning a reasonable level of impressiveness to it. It's cool, it's got a lot of parameters, and it's flexible in very interesting ways. But... am I "shocked" when I look at the output? Not even close. It's about what I would have expected if I threw a few million dollars at training a 175 billion parameter model. Edit: after reading a few more comments, I concede that I may be ever so slightly underdoing it :)
