Anybody who's tried it knows that what they're saying is true though.

oh that's very cool, exactly the kind of stuff we need

That's my thinking as well. The whole distillation thing is a distraction from the actual innovation happening in this space. What will be interesting to see going forward is what types of new techniques people manage to come up with t

Indeed we will, my prediction is that we'll see a model from China that definitively surpasses any US model by the end of the year. China has an absolute population advantage here along with having a much better education system. And C

I'm saying it's a cope to claim that the only reason Chinese models are catching up is due to distillation, while pointing out that distillation itself is in no way unique to Chinese companies. I'm sorry this was too complex

My prediction is that they're going to angle to become a vendor of record for the government and get bailed out. That's the only path at this point because there won't be any competition from China in this niche.

The process takes time because even when you're distilling answers, you still need to actually do reinforcement training on the model. And given that Fable and GPT 5.6 just came out there simply hasn't been much time to do that. O

This is precisely why we need more projects like this https://github.com/bigscience-workshop/petals There's no fundamental reason why models couldn't be developed and trained using community efforts. It might

And given that Chinese models are closing the gap there are basically two thing that could be happening. One is that they are moving faster than US companies developing closed models, and two that we're starting to hit a plateau for mo

Sorry, misread your comment. Again though, it seems pretty obvious that our ability to accumulate knowledge across generations by recording it through the use of language is a categorical advantage over other animals.

The fact that we are able to accumulate knowledge and apply it to shape our environment in a way that no other species is able to kind of does suggest that we have a profound communication advantage.

Sure, lifespan is a factor, but it's hard to argue that lifespan has been the main factor for humans. Or that lifetime of many other organisms isn't sufficient. And I already pointed out that we co-evolved with language, that&#x27

I expect what's most likely to happen is that either Anthropic or OpenAI end up becoming a vendor of record for the government and get a bailout. And then their whole business model will be serving use niches which would be considered

Yup, and just look at how difficult it is for us to recognize different kinds of intelligence on our own planet too. We've just started figuring out that animals like crows have complex cognition.

They used two of my books and I'm still waiting for my cheque here.

We kind of do though since we don't see crows accumulating knowledge at any scale comparable to humans and using this knowledge to shape their environment in increasingly complex ways. And crows very obviously do make tools and even te

Sure, intelligence is a gradient, it's not something exclusive to humans. And different biological systems need to solve problems and create models of their environment in order to respond to it intentionally. However, that's tang

The difference is that we are able to accumulate information across generations to grow our collective knowledge. Other animals are not able to do that at scale. So, while you are correct that other animal communicate and even teach each ot

The assumption that biological life will be doing galactic colonization seems myopic in the extreme. Let's just consider the progression here. Life on Earth appears around 4.5 billion years ago. Humans start evolving around 2.8 million

When the model is open, then anybody can download and trying doing things with it. Distill it, change its architecture, inspect how its layers work, and so on. A lot of research ends up being published as a result which the original authors

I'm also working on Jolt which uses Chez Scheme as the compiler. https://jolt-lang.github.io I've already got enough of JVM compatibility to run Ring apps, and have some fun libraries like a Reagent style library on to

Also, we shouldn't underestimate the power of developing things in the open. Chinese open models benefit from the wisdom of an entire global research community while American engineers working on proprietary closed models are working i

I find Orwell appeals to the pseudo-intellectual crowd because he says things that don't really have any profound insight, but seem deep to superficial people who want to feel smart. When you look at it critically, his writing has a re
