Becker: Halving AI Compute Growth Halves Algorithmic Progress and Milestones
“And both of them both of those components half when compute halves sort of trivially, because compute is halving, and algorithmic progress halves because compute is this important input, and compute halves, then you might expect time horizon growth to half. An…”

Becker: Algorithmic Progress in AI Is Strictly a Function of Compute
“The suggestion in this paper is that if you think that algorithmic progress, you know, that, that is coming up with the transformer, coming up with RLHF, you know, MOEs, all of this stuff, better learning rate schedules is, is is itself a function of compute b…”
