It's an ongoing debacle with multiple people making extremely good arguments that Google overstated the results.
Yes, I know it's in TPUs and I said exactly that.
You simply can't take Google press at face value.
- warbaker 2y agoGoogle has responded to this "controversy" already: https://x.com/JeffDean/status/1858540085794451906 https://x.com/JeffDean/status/1858540085794451906 https://arxiv.org/abs/2411.10053 https://arxiv.org/abs/2411.10053
- dekhn 2y agoYes, I am aware. I didn't find Jeff's argument particularly convincing. Please note: I've worked personally with Jeff before and shared many a coffee with him. He's done great work and messed up a lot of things, too.
