@jain_harshit@Google By same household they mean same ip address. If it's different ip, then how do they know if you are sharing your same credentials to people across the globe? 🤔 They have valid point. Even Netflix does that.
Idk if Claudes/GPTs use synthetic data since they don't share anything.
But if you want to train the BEST model, and you are confident that your model has the 'best pre-training' (most world knowledge) and 'best mid-training' (best domain specific capabilities and behaviors), then it doesn't make sense to distill off-policy data from other models, since:
1. Those models have less world and domain knowledge
2. Lots of SFT on off-policy synthetic data pulls your model into a more narrow distribution
i will leave apple in a heartbeat for this. a fully autonomous multi hundred billion parameter model running locally on a pc is a game changer. you can just tell it to do shit for you and it’ll do it. claude is currently limited to using chrome browser. a real limitation that this pc solves

Can someone explain "zero synthetic data or distillation from previous models"... What are the advantages? Are other models like Claude /Sonnet/Gpts use synthetic? 🤔
microsoft MAI tech report is a gold mine, one of the most transparent for a model at this scale.
this model uses zero synthetic data or distillation from previous models. this means reasoning, agentic behavior, tool use are all learned fully during post-training with no cold start. bold choice that makes it harder and requires more iterations to reach sota, but you get FULL control over your model series and it proves they are serious about being a frontier lab.
the tech report is insanely detailed and precise about numbers. to give an example, they give the exact MFU across all the iterations of the model, with the exact changes etc. they also share the full scaling ladder recipe, to my knowledge this is the first time i've seen this in a tech report at this scale
let's look at all of this in this likely very long thread 🧵
