Generalization is difficult to predict

原始摘录

The whole field relies a lot on generalization and it’s very hard to predict when you’re going to get generalization, or when you’re going to get some kind of out-of-distribution generalization

Research methods may have substantial room to improve

原始摘录

If you think hard enough, you probably could have expected some of these things beforehand. There is probably some very clever way to do a small-scale experiment that’ll let you build the theory that then will generalize to the large-scale experiment. So I would expect that we’re nowhere near the ceiling of how well you can do research

Distillation depends on a realistic prompt distribution

原始摘录

If you have a really good realistic prompt distribution for distillation, you can match the big model really well. But if you only have this distribution of easily verifiable tasks, then you can match the big model on all the benchmarks, but you do worse on this broader distribution
