I'm really fucking math dumb. Can you explain what the "well grounded" part is, for the mathematically challenged? Because all I've seen from the "energy based" approach in practice is a lot of hype and not a lot of results. If it isn't applicable to LLMs, then what is it applicable to? Where does it give an advantage? Why would you want it? I really, genuinely don't get that.
