strongly disagree with it being a minor thing. its actually a major advancement in cost and capability for a not insignificant portion of what people are doing with LLMs today. the hype is there for a reason.

like we are talking about a model that returns in milliseconds results that often beat frontier models with _zero-shot_ prompting. claiming this is "just hype" is imo extremely close-minded

I think it’s more like “this implementation is nothing special” Seeing that this was a Big Opportunity should probably still get you something tho Maybe Jev the model is not technically impressive or unique and is supplanted entirely in the next few months

That’s part of the pushback yes, also there are a lot of projects that just wouldn’t benefit from it. But there already are other system-1 creatures walking the earth bsky.app/profile/jshe...

i'm kinda torn on it honestly on one hand it's a very cool generic model on the other hand a lot of classification tasks are very specific and there are better specific models for it still cool though as it encourages experimentation

that is true, but there's a lot of cost that comes with both training and running classification models, especially at scale. but its also not just for classification tbqh!

yeah good point, saw it mainly be used for classification tasks though, that's why i focused on it excited to watch that area of models to see how it develops!
