It is surprising that it is prompt based model and not RLHF.

I am not an LLM guy but as far as I understand, RLHF did a good job converting a base model into a chat model (instruct based), a chat/base model into a thinking model.

Both of these examples are about the nature of the response, and the content they use to fill the response. There are so many differnt ways still pending to see how these can be filled.

Generating an answer step by step and letting users dive into those steps is one of the ways, and RLHF (or the similar things which are used) seems a good fit for it.

Prompting feels like a temporary solution for it like how "think step by step" was first seen in prompts.

Also, doing RLHF/ post training to change these structures also make it moat/ and expensive. Only the AI labs can do it

It is like hearing about manual cars.
as I am also thinking mildly about doing masters cause I want to break into ai research, I am curious what your motivations are, if you would be open to share those.
Hi, nick, given that this product is opensourced, I have a request/ wish:

It would be wondeful if some of the tools the projects uses are exposed to build on. Like the tools related to AST, finding definitions, and many more

what bugs are we talking about?
I liked the part that rather than taking some english phrase, it takes the movie name as the answer. Helps with the prompt injection.
Same feeling. It does not take you towards the answer. So I added the first movie in the today's game (say Spiderman) and the answer was spiderman 2. When I entered Spiderman, it should have told how close I am to the answer

This kind of narrative stops aspiring teachers to go in the domain of education.

Teachers play such an important rule. They have to swallow the pill that the common narrative is that cause they didn’t do whatever they are teaching hence they teach

Share more about your journey. These days I am feeling to having an interest rising about such things. Picked Codes book one night and got really hooked up.

Passed yet?
What’re some models and hardware combos we can run now? I am avoiding to go to OpenAI with my office’s stuff and can use some gpu(s)
would appreciate resources on fine tuning
Re:It’s Time To Subsidize E-bikes on Tuesday June 27, 2023 @12:21AM (#36488861)
I wish we were living in the world where politicians actively did listen to public and did some changes.

We need safe bike lanes. If my city has it, I’ll quickly jump the gun to make an investment. To add on top of it, let’s have some theft safety as well by building garages or having an airbnb equivalent of parking in private places. But as I think about these they feel like a child wishing for a gift on Christmas.

Could someone at high level talk more about how one starts contributing to this kind of problems.

For the people who build solutions for data handling— ranging from crud to building highly scalable solutions— these things are alien concepts. (Or maybe I am just talking about it myself)

would be so fun if you could fork a project on vercel i.e this project has a button to fork: - which forks its github - makes a new project on your vercel cause it's connected to your github - it opens a new tab with your project running.
