They finetuned 1.5-3b models. This is a non-story

The headline is dumb, but the research isn't. According to the actual contents of the article, that $30 is still 27 times cheaper than what it costs OpenAI to make a similar sized model which also performs worse. That's still a big deal even if the people reporting on it made a stupid title for their article about it.

Yup and it's not even testing general reasoning. They didn't have money for that.

Is General reasoning in the room with us now?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 3 weeks ago

It's actually "Reasonings General", common misconception

I heard someone say Private Reasoning was around the corner. Think they’re related?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 weeks ago

I hear Private Reasoning of the first through nth LLM Understander Corps is highly motivated

Is that the guy who sells insurance with Shaq?

There's no way to know since they didn't have the money to test.
