Models that are strong enough to improve themselves without a human (I.e. ai researcher) in the loop
Well there's long term impact but yea that doesn't create enough political pressure to make process efficient
Re:Domain expertise has always been the real moat on Saturday May 30, 2026 @06:34PM (#48341263)
Long codex sessions lead to a lot of cached token hits, esp when you resume them after a few hours.
Can't you execute the bug to see if the vulnerability is real? So you have a perfect filter. Maybe Mythos decided w/o executing but we don't know that.
Worth noting that this is when they used Amazon's own AI product, not when using Claude Code or Codex.
Seems the same tbh
Re:Gemini Embedding: Powering RAG and context engineering on Thursday July 31, 2025 @02:21PM (#44748521)
LLMs can use search engines as a tool. One possibility is Google embeds the search query through these embeddings and does retrieval using them and then the retrieved result is pasted into the model's chain of thought (which..unless they have an external memory module in their model, is basically the model's only working memory).
Most straightforward would be to ask the model to generate different evaluation metrics (which they already seem to do) and use each one as one of the dimensions
Or the humans did think of it and were actively proceeding to test that hypothesis
Re:Humanity's Last Exam on Thursday February 06, 2025 @08:47PM (#42968381)
I think the idea for this is anything that can be set in a literal exam for humans. So anything that would take the best human in that topic in the world say more than an hour to complete is out.

Also IIRC 42% of the questions are math related, not memorization of knowledge.

Re:The AI Bubble Is Bursting on Tuesday January 21, 2025 @12:49AM (#42777015)
I'm the real world, judges I know are using it to do case summaries that used to take weeks, Goldman is using it to do 95% of IPO filings work and I personally am using O1 pro to write a ton of code.

AI's biggest use cases are for doing actual work, not necessarily replacing regular interactions with your mobile or entertainment devices

Think more is made of this asterix than necessary. Quite possible adding 10x more GPUs would have allowed it to solve it in the time limit.

Maybe it is but it's not the only company that is
It's an excellent way of getting your best people who have options to quit while the worst ones who don't are forced to stick around

This is a site setup by ppl unaffiliated with OAI it seems and has wrong claims -- ex O1 doesn't solve 83% of IMO problems -- it solves 83% of AIME problems which are significantly easier.
One question is how specific the binding is -- what's the level of off-target effects, etc.
Re:Ilya Sutskever's SSI Inc raises $1B on Wednesday September 04, 2024 @10:02AM (#41445975)
This might be the largest seed round in history (note that 1B is the cash raised, not the valuation). You think that's an indication of the hype dissipating?
Re:Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt's Leaked Stanford Talk on Friday August 16, 2024 @04:11AM (#41264276)
Tensorflow losing has nothing to do with Google getting bored -- it's vice versa.

Tensorflow is a symbolic framework, which is less intuitive to work with for most people than the Pytorch. Not to mention the errors Tensorflow generates are more annoying to debug (again more an issue with the fact that it's symbolic than any lack of effort on part of Google)

Google tried to fix it by introducing an eager mode in Tensorflow but by then it was too late.

Feels like the next generation of models could truly start replacing lower level ML and software engineers
Re:"Jeff Bezos and Amazon tried to imprison my husband" on Saturday August 10, 2024 @03:48PM (#41211763)
Looks like her argument is that code of conduct is not legally enforceable and that Amazon itself has argued it cannot be used by employees to sue Amazon. Hard to feel sorry for Amazon here for me despite Amazon seemingly being morally in the right in this case
Re:Claude 3.5 Sonnet on Thursday June 20, 2024 @06:55PM (#40744356)
Sounds like an excuse tbh. Esp when other companies are pushing ahead beyond OAI and open source is close to rivaling them
Re:Gemini – Google DeepMind on Wednesday December 06, 2023 @10:35PM (#38552538)
GPT-4 is also rumored to have consumed 5x less compute to train
Or even possible. They won't have twitter api access that they did until recently. And they certainly won't have the gigantic dataset ChatGPT is collecting.
Why then has no one come close to replicating GPT-4 after 8 months of it being around?
Otoh Ilya wasn't a main contributor for GPT-4 as per the list of contributions. gdb was.

And that's not counting the data advantage China already has with the large scale surveillance it does.

US regulators act like they control the world

Re:GPT-4-turbo preliminary benchmark results on code-editing on Tuesday November 07, 2023 @08:19PM (#38185526)
They have tons of usage data by now to figure out which queries to devote model capacity to
Just prompt it to implement the function
