Any idea what made OpenAI successful where you weren’t?

Probably the model OAI used that is strictly better than whichever SOTA - 3 months model OP used?

  • Nah.

    The model is probably comically big and inefficient but big enough

    Finally, size really does matter!

    • The internal model they used to solve the Navier-Stoke's problem was significantly better than the public Astra model, and they also used 10,000 agents.

      Astra wasn't even released 3mo ago. It would not be surprising in the slightest that a public model from 3mo would not be capable of solving this problem, but an internal one from current day would be.

    • my speculation is that they have math-specialized model retrain, so it doesn't need to have all world info in weights, but can focus on math RL training.

Presumably it's mainly the better model, I don't see much evidence of a particularly advanced harness based on the reasoning traces that they provided.

They ingested all of his sessions with their SOTA models from a few months ago. ;)

  • The fact that this is plausible should be deeply disturbing and disqualifying for openAI. The fact that they may prevail and win is a travesty of our failed system.

    • Disqualifying for what? If you develop a proof you aren’t competing for something, you’re expanding the frontier of knowledge. It’s a binary state of the world, either it’s proven or not. Prevail and win what exactly?

    • Its a capitalistic issue, not a company/technology issue.

      If we would have discovered this breakthrough of LLM/ML on scale in a non capitalistic world, we would all work together advancing it faster than it goes right now for the benefit of humanity.

      And I don't live forever (at least for now) i def want to see were this road is heading.

      Its a conflict of interest for sure, a cnflict of the future of a lot of humans
