AI2 Did Not Log Raw Audio for Pixmo Annotations
“Yeah, it was like Whisper, and I don't remember the details, and I had asked, and it's like, I don't think they actually logged the audio. I was like, oh, this would be super cool for, like, other types of multimodal, but I don't think it was in the terms of t…”

Disclosure
Lambert: AI2 received early industry tip on reinforcement fine-tuning
“We got a tip from a industry lab member to do this a few months early. So we got a head start”
Nathan Lambert Jan 2, 2025 ▶ 15:35 The State of Reasoning — from Nathan Lambert, Interconnects/AI2 [LS Live @ NeurIPS 2024]
Jul 31, 2025 bearish
Prediction Open · timeframe Jul 2028
Lambert: Academics cannot match industry compute on Humanity's Last Exam
“I just think it's kind of unlikely that we're going to win as a academic and a state of the art number because they're going to start spending millions of tokens per query. And it's just a lot of, it's a lot of compute burn. Like the getting, beating that on t…”

Jul 31, 2025 negative
Assertion Not checkable as stated
Lambert: Long inference generations break RL infrastructure and require more GPUs
“The inference, high inference length generations definitely just, like, kind of breaks all infrastructure, because there's just so many tokens, there's more opportunity for out of memory or other things to go wrong. So it's like, just on a default, all of your…”

Opinion
Lambert: AI benchmarks like ARC-AGI should prioritize testing without harnesses
“Harnesses are cool, but they're gonna, they're, They're a handicap that's changing the learning dynamics substantially. So it's good. It's good demos, but I feel like the core thrust has to be no harnesses.”

Insight
Lambert: Reasoning models solved basic skills; planning is the next frontier
“So I came up with four and the foundational one was skills, which is What I would say that we have already done with O-one and R-one, which is you do a lot of RL, you show the inference time scaling works and you get really high benchmark numbers. And then the…”

Insight
Lambert: AI academics must build datasets and evals rather than papers
“If you're trying to have impact in AI right now, it's as an academic, you have to like level up out of papers to artifacts, which is models, datasets, evals. Datasets and evals are easier for people to have impact on.”

Insight
Lambert: Scaling RL long enough requires a curriculum of increasing difficulty
“If you scale RL long enough, You're going to need a curriculum of things getting harder. And like, that's pretty obvious.”
