Not just Meta, 40 EU companies urged EU to postpone roll out of the ai act by two years due to it's unclear nature. This code of practice is voluntary and goes beyond what is in the act itself. EU published it in a way to say that ther

Seen this happen many times with current agent implementations. With RL (and provided you have enough use case data) you can get to a high accuracy on many of these shortcomings. Most problems arise from the fact that prompting is not the m

i would disagree we kind of figured it out early. Early visions for internet were about things like information superhighway (with a centralized approach). What came to pass was the opposite. Its a good thing. There are lessons here in that

Think we will see something like this in the near future. But there are two very bold claims: one is hope that RL will lead to generalization in other domains, which based on current evidence seems far fetched. Other is the softwares and sp

I can see Gary's point here. He got some stick for this on x, but Gary seems to be right here. One curious thing about this is how both sides have vacated their original positions: scaling people were all about scaling and now they do

Meta offered Pay-or-consent model (nov 23) at 10 euros or so to placate the then GDPR regulators, as the court found contractual necessity as an invalid argument. CJEU stance seems like its valid for meta and they had a long opinion on that

When a rule is vaguely defined, deliberately so that a regulator can take different interpretations depending on whether they are having any effect and who is doing it, even trivial things become complex. Eg: Meta is asked to withdraw month

Calling it sloppy work is too charitable. It's one thing for others to give you a benefit of the doubt, it's absolutely crazy that you yourself are doing it. It's clear if the other guy did not speak up, you would not have &q

From what it looks like, it's one main LLM (you are sending query to - orchestrator) which calls other LLMs via tool calls. The tools are capable of calling llms too, and can have specific instructions, but mostly just the orchestrator
