I see so many studies trying to somehow distill trippy drugs into an isolated, side-effect free, take a pill and get back to work treatment. Maybe there's something to be found there, would be huge, but my hope is that we don't wa

The number of data points is tiny. There's only a handful of LLMs trained from scratch in the world, and sizes of models released in a "generation" tend to be close to each other somewhat. The field is very open source so peo
