The Neuron: AI Explained
Illia Polosukhin: Fixing the Broken System He Helped Create

Some of the adoption is being dragged by just, you know, there's a lot of industries who are still using pen and paper.

The Neuron: AI Explained
Illia Polosukhin: Fixing the Broken System He Helped Create

Yes, AI is getting better at, you know,

The Neuron: AI Explained
Illia Polosukhin: Fixing the Broken System He Helped Create

computer vision as well and you can you can potentially use it with that but uh obviously if your workflow is not even like digital you can't even like ai is not going to be that much help yeah totally um but i think like generally that that the we are kind of definitely on exponential and so um as i said we're living we're living in interesting times

The Neuron: AI Explained
Illia Polosukhin: Fixing the Broken System He Helped Create

You realize this is like a, probably a trillion dollar question, right?

The Neuron: AI Explained
Illia Polosukhin: Fixing the Broken System He Helped Create

Yeah.

The Neuron: AI Explained
Illia Polosukhin: Fixing the Broken System He Helped Create

I guess selling the subscription is that, uh, uh,

The Neuron: AI Explained
Illia Polosukhin: Fixing the Broken System He Helped Create

So, I mean, obviously I have my hypotheses.

The Neuron: AI Explained
Illia Polosukhin: Fixing the Broken System He Helped Create

Sure.

The Neuron: AI Explained
Illia Polosukhin: Fixing the Broken System He Helped Create

And I've kind of expressed some of them.

The Neuron: AI Explained
Illia Polosukhin: Fixing the Broken System He Helped Create

I mean, like a few years ago, RL was one of them.

The Neuron: AI Explained
Illia Polosukhin: Fixing the Broken System He Helped Create

And kind of we saw really kind of improvements coming from reinforcement learning.

The Neuron: AI Explained
Illia Polosukhin: Fixing the Broken System He Helped Create

I definitely think like there is only that much you can stuff, you know, random articles into a model until, you know, it stops learning.

The Neuron: AI Explained
Illia Polosukhin: Fixing the Broken System He Helped Create

But what we see is if you take some size of the model, like 8 billion parameter, the quality of that model keeps improving.

The Neuron: AI Explained
Illia Polosukhin: Fixing the Broken System He Helped Create

Meaning like at the same scale of the parameters, we're getting better at how we train them.

The Neuron: AI Explained
Illia Polosukhin: Fixing the Broken System He Helped Create

And so that to me is the main, like the way I look at these things is like, hey, let's fix the size and see the progression there.

The Neuron: AI Explained
Illia Polosukhin: Fixing the Broken System He Helped Create

And that progression defines to me the kind of, are we getting better at improving these models?

The Neuron: AI Explained
Illia Polosukhin: Fixing the Broken System He Helped Create

Yeah, I mean, well, bigger the problem is it's hard to compare apples to apples, right?

The Neuron: AI Explained
Illia Polosukhin: Fixing the Broken System He Helped Create

Like, hey, is this model better than what it was three months ago?

The Neuron: AI Explained
Illia Polosukhin: Fixing the Broken System He Helped Create

It is on some metrics, but if you spend 10x more compute, is that actually the improvement we're looking for?

The Neuron: AI Explained
Illia Polosukhin: Fixing the Broken System He Helped Create

So to me, the kind of...
