btw folks just an fyi for people new to the whole ai/ml/dl stuff: machine learning is just a tool don’t get too attached to tools you can be very interested in a tool and really like how some of them work but at the end of the day at work you are there to get the job done

.@RichardSSutton, father of reinforcement learning, doesn’t think LLMs are bitter-lesson-pilled. My steel man of Richard’s position: we need some new architecture to enable continual (on-the-job) learning. And if we have continual learning, we don't need a special training

I got my paper for this weekend folks we are going to figure out how this fish library is able to crank up RL to 1M steps per seconds without spending the equivalent in compute of a small slavic country gdp

Went to the @nvidia x @PrimeIntellect oss event in SF last night. And, I'm amazed by the energy and the vibe in this community. @willccbb is truly the goat. Guys if you're not building on top of verifiers, do it now!! The conviction comes through when he speaks. It's a good

as a retired runescape flax plant picker I have to say that I deeply resonated with @jsuarez5341 phd thesis on neural MMO thinking about it I could have automated myself away and recouped about 720h of my childhood back check out the 1h thesis defense here well worth the time

weighting on this subject with tact because I hate to see two of my education heros butting heads: no math for deep learning. I’m not saying learn it later or use your high school math no. math. at. all. math in machine learning is a psyops from Big Statistics to slow us down

just had two absolute legends from puffer ai for a 2h interview and boy I'm all puffed up right now two of the most intellectually inspiring people I've met this year we've talked a whole lot about how to make RL env blazing fast and how to save the whole godamn RL field

New followers - my high-perf RL is free + open source in PufferLib. Star the GitHub to support the project! Our rev comes from custom sims, contracted R&D, and extended support packages for companies. More eyes on Puffer means I spend time on OSS and not marketing!

Check out this nice tutorial video ( https://t.co/n63MxIhaso) from @yacinelearning I also did a live chat with him this morning — check out the recording ( https://t.co/aQBOPCIBVb) where I answered some questions from Yacine and the audience about our work :)

we are going live in ~30 min to chat with our man @yule_gan to ask him the hard questions about evolutionary strategies for LLM finetuning like: - why does it work? - how does it actually work? - no for real why does it work? and other such insightful high IQ questions tune in!
