Jul 29, 2024 positive
Assertion Supported
Meta used stepwise reward models and Monte Carlo Tree Search for Llama 3.1
“They actually went the extra step to, no pun intended, to actually train stepwise reward models. That's kind of crazy, no? I mean, they wanted each step in the chain of thought to be so good that they actually took the extra effort to train step, to train step…”

Lambert: Llama 3.1 math evals rely on SymPy and LLM judges
“Lama, 3.1 details their vows for math. They use both SIM by a Python process or Python package for extraction and it's a judge to extract their answers for math.”
Nathan Lambert Jan 2, 2025 ▶ 12:38 The State of Reasoning — from Nathan Lambert, Interconnects/AI2 [LS Live @ NeurIPS 2024]
Jul 31, 2025 bullish
Assertion Supported
Lambert: Tulu 3 matches or beats Meta Llama 3.1 on core evals
“On, like, core evals for our Suite of models from, I think, eight, seven D and four or five B is based on llama at the time. It's like it matches or beats meta on these core valves.”
