Every statement that passed quotation and attribution checks. Mix any filter with any other: certainty 1/5, debate potential 5/5, or both at once.
why aren't all 4 resolved? a statement only gets an assessment when the public record can support or contradict it. opinions and what-ifs never can, and 0 checkable ones are still open, waiting for their date. predictions held up or didn't; assertions are supported or contradicted. on every card: ▮▮▮▮▮ certainty · ▮▮▮▮▮ debate potential. speakers are clickable
Luan: Base AI model performance requires doubling compute for consistent gains
“So put another way for just scaling up a base language model you need to double the amount of compute for that language model for it to be predictably consistently smarter.”
Luan: ChatGPT was just GPT-3 with instruction tuning released a year later
“ChatGPT was really just GPT-III with instruction. It was basically like more chat tuning, but GPT-III API came out, I think, over a year before ChatGPT did, but only developers could play with it.”
Luan: Scaling GPT-2 without architectural changes unlocked three-digit arithmetic
“When we were training GPT-II, we trained GPT-II in various different sizes. And at the smallest size, the model was just, like, unable to do three-digit arithmetic. But as the models got bigger and bigger and bigger, we didn't change anything else. We just had…”
