“Like if you use or compare ChatGPT, Gemini Claude, Grock. I think they are all pretty much on the same level. Like, and I think that's because they're trying to do everything. Like the generalist models for a general person to do a lot of things. I mean, Claude is a bit more specialized to code now, but the other ones, they are more like general models. And I wouldn't say one is significantly better than the other.”

Text diffusion models will not replace autoregressive Transformers at state-of-the-art
“So it is a interesting direction to go into these diffusion, diffusion models as alternative to the auto regressive transformers, but it is not I would say the replacement at the state of the art.”
Future LLMs will prioritize architectural efficiency over larger model sizes
“I wouldn't expect bigger architectures. I would expect a more efficient architectures tweaks getting, The same modeling performance for less compute”
Pre-training is no longer where the low-hanging AI gains lie
“Pre-training is not dead, but pre-training is boring. So it's not where the low hanging fruit is anymore.”
RLVR unlocks pre-training knowledge rather than teaching LLMs new math
“The knowledge is already there in the pre-training, and this just unlocks it. It's just like a step that maybe shows the model how to use its own knowledge, basically.”
