Summary

When can't tell the difference for 99% of my work. Somebody just moved $100 million frontier model project that they were going to spend this year for the rest of the year and moved it to open source just on a dime.

Why listen

It goes beyond the title with direct discussion of like, know, think, including: Somebody just moved $100 million frontier model project that they were going to spend this year for the rest of the year and moved it to open source just on a dime.

Key takeaways
  1. 01Somebody just moved $100 million frontier model project that they were going to spend this year for the rest of the year and moved it to open source just on a dime
  2. 02They're building and training frontier models specifically for coding
  3. 03They're making software that turns Macs and other computers and devices into a shared brain for running large AI models
Best for
research-minded practitioners comparing model behavior
