Aug 3, 20261 min read
hese are some one-liners that I want to expand into ~600-word focus posts to link to from other posts (or just find a good canonical reference that makes the point).
- eval data is what you eval on...
- there's always a model in prod...
- scaling laws for evals...
- pretraining detente and clearer public/private split
- centrist take on distillation
- we should freak out about Terms of Service from organizations trying to build "AGI"
