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.

I feel like the author here doesnt know what the definition of "breakthrough" is.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (2 children)

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 2 months 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 2 months 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?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

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