<p>It would be amazing to have big BERTha with per-token pricing on GCP or AWS. There are many times I am reaching for a cheap classifier with the general behavior of an LLM.</p>

<p>I've switched off to runners and event scheduling inside AWS, and am working on moving my company off of GitHub. I know engineers inside GitHub and it doesn't sound like the talk they've been putting out about reliability is actually being addressed with many resources internally; the best people in the company are chasing AI product features (which are apparently quite profitable).</p>

<p>Yes exactly. Automatic model downgrade seems horrible for a lot of production workloads, even if you are deterministically constraining the behavior of your agents.</p>

<p>I don't think the person describing the paper by Buckmaster as the same as the 2023 paper by Córdoba and Martínez-Zoroa is really discussing this in good faith fwiw. There are some massive advancements within it and if the person was participating wasn't just regurgitating something to "win the argument" in their eyes, they wouldn't describe it that way.</p>

<p>>It's unknowable and not possible to prove if any one specific conversation was the key to solving Navier–Stokes.<p>If the conversation was in the training set, there's a high likelihood that the small set of conversations related to solving Navier-Stokes was used by the model. I get Astra to still quote some of my friends' books or blogposts nearly verbatim on certain niche issues.<p>Much more importantly, we _can_ determine whether a conversation was used in the training data. And if it was, it gives us a great idea whether that logic was captured in reasoning for a novel problem never yet solved.<p>Given that you don't see any of this as below the belt according to your other comments, maybe your contribution here is more for yourself than a fair conversation about attribution.</p>

<p>It's unclear if you're suggesting that OpenAI did not train on their input or use their chats as inputs to training on a model that found the solution. Let's not provide an Elizabeth Holmes-esque interview where the question is dodged and words gain new meaning. The question can be answered with "Yes, we trained on their conversations" or "No, we did not train on their conversations".<p>I'm not coming from a place of distrust here. This should just be definitively answerable given the weight of the claims here. Surely between you, your lawyers, and other members of your team you can just clear this part up.</p>

<p>Lately I've been throwing tasks at Qwen and a frontier or recently-frontier model (as well as Kimi, GLM, etc) and the smaller parameter models are not really comparable to Opus when it comes to making intelligent decisions about greyer areas of good software architecture.<p>Amazing results for open weight and that size, but a really long way off, and I'm extremely skeptical of benchmarks that show these smaller models as being anywhere close to Opus 4.8 (or even earlier Opus's).</p>

<p>I've tried it on my "let's run every model in parallel and see which finds more edge cases" type of tasks, and Grok 4.5 was really behind Opus/ChatGPT but ahead of Gemini - despite having a strong showing on benchmarks.<p>That makes me really skeptical of it being GPT5.6-tier, much less Fable-tier, based on some of these benchmarks alone. But I'll test here shortly.</p>

<p>>Aren't the LLMs trained on a massive corpus of human written texts? If that stands, then they are doing what they were asked, kind of?<p>I think you might be interested in reading in training data generation, training, and post training papers/articles. I think you might be surprised at how much intervention there is on some of these levels.</p>

<p>This blogpost didn't really address the elephant in the room that increasingly the bottleneck is no longer the part that jr devs could help out with.<p>Every startup I know that hired some level of jr's and encouraged them to use AI found themselves in a code review bottleneck for basic code quality and architecture decisions. Many startups I know are largely forgoing jr devs.<p>Code quality regarding evolvability, reliability, maintainability is still part of the development process. All of the people who claimed src code is just assembly on Twitter some months ago have started chiming in that they were wrong.<p>I do wonder what this does to the talent pipeline like mentioned in the post.</p>
