Videos and podcasts play in their own players, from two seconds before each line. Articles and documents are read aloud by an AI voice from ElevenLabs, reading only the words already on each yank's page, or by your device's own voice if you choose it. It keeps playing if you go to another page.
Techno Optimist on Instagram: "Zuck and Wang on how to pre-train an AI model: Wang: “In the pre-training stage, everyone who’s training frontier models basically is trying to get as much data as poss
A rare candid exchange between two AI insiders on what it actually feels like — and costs — to pre-train a frontier model at scale.
- Pre-training is full of researchers who chew glass and stare out into the abyss.
- All the seven stages of grief happen while you're pre-training a model.
- Scaling bigger models isn't just about flops and compute — you need to scale data with it, and if the internet isn't growing that quickly, the question becomes: where does the data come from?
- Your ability to infer exactly what will happen scientifically really depends on your ability to big-brain reason about everything that's happening.
- You still want as much intentionality about where ultimately you want your model to be — but it just benefits from a lot more data.
