Any time a new lab shows up, folks complain about how their models are worse. Really? It would be nice if a new comer comes from no where and beats everyone, but that's rarely the case. The good thing is that other labs/people are figuring out how to build this, and if they keep at it then this is as bad as it gets for them and it would hopefully get better. A new entrant to the market is good for everyone.
Reflection isn't really "from no where", they have huge financial backing, 10K of the latest GPUs, and many ex leads from the established labs.
honest question: how honest do you think people are about their improvements and performance compared to objective results when all you do is praise them?
participation awards are not helpful.
