Most of the recent math results were not reached by a swarm, the way Navier–Stokes was. I think that part got lost in the excitement around the release. OpenAI's unnamed internal model, which I'm going to call Aeon, reached most of them in one shot, from a single prompt, with no interruptions. This model did not even exist before the end of August, and it is still training. Notice how the returns are not dropping off? That chart is from a month ago. It is a log scale. What does Aeon look like now?
On average, each result used three hours of thinking. Aeon was given 4000 problems to work on by OpenAI. How many more have been solved in the last three days? That number is not zero.
It's like hearing notes in a song that is slowly rising. I don't think Pacing the Frontier was just about Hugging Face or hacking. They've seen how close we are to closing the loop, and as the hour draws near, their resolve begins to quaver. The last piece was model creativity, and I think that threshold was crossed internally by Anthropic and OpenAI in September. You see it in Opus 5.5, which gets it from Fable 5.5. You see it in the math results from Aeon.
All that was needed to start the event was the ability for models to think of novel ways to improve themselves. That was the last piece. This is directly analogous to the ability to think of strange, alien ways to solve math problems: solutions so inhuman that they are difficult to express in existing human terms, so the proof winds up incomprehensible. I think these same kinds of alien solutions are now being applied to model improvements internally. That's what all this recent consternation is really about. They see the invisible frontier. And they see what is about to happen.
@JohnSmithrmj5@DoWCTO Most of these schools are strong research institutions. The article is asking them for an audit not saying that they have done anything wrong. They are probably receiving the most funding from the government and are first on the list.
@Cover3Podcast can you do a segment on the success rate of portal players? The number seem to be climbing but in the end is it worth it for these players to transfer or are the ones that hit skewing the perspective?
@PokemonRestocks Horrible app experience by @BestBuy, I get if it is a stock issue but to have your app sign everyone out and not let people sign in again is disappointing.
I was starting at LG by my 2nd year at Penn State. They know how to develop guys in State College! I had to medically retire due to concussions but the support I had from coaches, teammates, fans, and alumni was something I will never forget. Coach Franklin paid for me to finish my degree and I used that same very degree to create my own media platform. I’m only 6 months into this thing but because of the support from my fanbase, I’m able to make this my full time job and put food on the table. That’s what this fanbase, and coming to Penn State does for you.
Choosing Penn State means you are embraced by a family that extends far beyond just the sport that you play
He didn’t have to play. He could’ve opted out and watched his team but he put on for Penn State one last time while injured.
I’ll always remember this performance from Abdul Carter. This dude deserves every penny he gets in the league.
@BudElliott3 You once discussed live betting a game where you saw a linemen go down injured and you pulled the depth chart to see what the depth was like at that position and noticed the guy was way too light to play and bet the hell out of it. I never considered that before then
