I appreciate you diving into the details, that's helpful to me. I've reread their post. They do say Claude many times so yes it's clear they are framing their work this way.

We have seen how these large models learn high order levels of understanding that is unexpected, e.g. physics in video generation. That makes me not want to dismiss the work in this area particularly when paired with orders of magnitude more computation being applied than us normies have access to.

This almost seems like catch-up to Google DeepMind stuff where it is research for research sake. So in that sense I can see the skepticism where one can look at this as taking Claude and pouring it over a problem like sweet LLM syrup that will make it all taste great.

Hopefully that's not the case.
