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

So if it's way too hard, there's nothing for the model to learn.

The Neuron: AI Explained

Like, because it can't even, you know, to take back to the golfing example, um,

The Neuron: AI Explained

Let's say that you're on like some, I don't know, this is like the limits of my golf knowledge, but I feel like on Pebble Beach, like there's some part where like you have the option to hit the ball like totally over the water.

And let's say that you're not, like you're a total beginner golfer and nothing you do gets over the water.

Like you're just, it's, you can try a hundred times.

The Neuron: AI Explained

You're not going to get it once.

The Neuron: AI Explained

You're not learning from that because you never have the successful attempt to say, oh, that was the thing I needed to do.

The Neuron: AI Explained

So much the same way.

If it's too hard, you're not going to learn.

And if it's too easy, you're not going to learn because you're not pushing yourself.

The Neuron: AI Explained

So we have to test it on real models today and calibrate it.

The Neuron: AI Explained

And then as the models evolve, we need to evolve with them and continue to make the environments harder.

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

And the way that we test all this is by doing our own training runs.

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

So we train with open weights models and we see the improvements that our environments have.

The Neuron: AI Explained

And then...

The Neuron: AI Explained

You know, what you really want to see is not just that improves on your own environment, but that it improves on other benchmarks as well.

The Neuron: AI Explained

So that there's like some transferability of like we're teaching general skills and not just like some niche thing that maybe isn't realistic.

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

Yeah.

So I think you can get quite far without anything in the physical world.

The Neuron: AI Explained

Cool.
