tldr; AI models are already good enough for the next leap in capabilities. By: Alex Zhang (@a1zhang), Zhening (Zed) Li (@zli11010), Omar Khattab (@lateinteraction). For the last decade, scaling the size and data of AI models has led to groundbreaking, super-human achievements in the capabilities of these systems. The recent success of RL and reasoning in particular implies that models can be trained to generalize on tasks we have never even solved ourselves. It is natural to believe that continuing this trend of scaling across a single neural model will be the recipe that gets us to the…
