The Neuron: AI Explained
Inside the Secret Labs Where AI Learns to Work

It's a model does the work and another model judges the success.

The Neuron: AI Explained
Inside the Secret Labs Where AI Learns to Work

And the way it judges the success is a human will write out a bunch of very concrete, specific criteria that the model is going to evaluate on.

The Neuron: AI Explained

But it then becomes this game of like, okay, well, I have my verbal unit test essentially.

The Neuron: AI Explained
Inside the Secret Labs Where AI Learns to Work

Is my test suite comprehensive enough that I can capture all of these cases?

The Neuron: AI Explained
Inside the Secret Labs Where AI Learns to Work

Because a very literal-minded judge will look at this and be like, yeah, I mean, follow the rules.

The Neuron: AI Explained
Inside the Secret Labs Where AI Learns to Work

Exactly.

The Neuron: AI Explained
Inside the Secret Labs Where AI Learns to Work

Exactly.

The Neuron: AI Explained

You know, and that's, you know, when you see something like there was a, I don't want to name names, but there was a model last year that got released that was, you know, caused the company in question to do a lot of reorgs because the model was so bad.

And it was trained on Alamarina.

And it's like, yeah, like you said, the model is only doing what you tell it to do.

The Neuron: AI Explained

And it did a great job of optimizing for that reward signal.

The Neuron: AI Explained

In my first computer science class,

The Neuron: AI Explained

My professor said to us, you should never get frustrated with a computer because it can only do what you tell it to do.

The Neuron: AI Explained
Inside the Secret Labs Where AI Learns to Work

You know, he was saying that like a deterministic context, right?

The Neuron: AI Explained
Inside the Secret Labs Where AI Learns to Work

Of like, you literally wrote this code.

The Neuron: AI Explained
Inside the Secret Labs Where AI Learns to Work

But honestly, it works even in a modeling context.

The Neuron: AI Explained
Inside the Secret Labs Where AI Learns to Work

Like it's only doing what we trained it to do.

The Neuron: AI Explained
Inside the Secret Labs Where AI Learns to Work

Well, so part of the value we provide is by having a very diverse set of AI trainers to sort of get past that.

The Neuron: AI Explained
Inside the Secret Labs Where AI Learns to Work

That's good.

The Neuron: AI Explained

Yeah.
