Episode notes

The chapter explores the significant resources required by organizations like Meta to train AI models, touching on the need for thousands of GPUs and billions of dollars in data center infrastructure. It discusses the challenges of creating foundational models and the potential benefits of utilizing distributed GPU hardware. The conversation also addresses issues like cheating in benchmarking, the use of synthetic data for model evaluation, and the quest for open-source GPT models in AI development.

In this conversation, Jeff from Nous Research discusses their work on open source models and the BitTensor subnet. They address the challenges of ranking models on platforms like Hugging Face and the need for a more reliable and commercially viable model ranking system. Nous Research has developed Nous Hermes, an open source model that can be fine-tuned to follow specific instructions. They also created the BitTensor subnet, which allows developers to submit their models and rank them against synthetic data generated by GPT-4 and Claude. The goal is to approximate the state-of-the-art models and incentivize the creation of high-quality models. The conversation explores the potential of synthetic data generation, the future of model selection, the world simulator and amorphous applications, the intersection of AI and crypto, concerns and risks in the crypto AI space, the inevitability of AGI, the role of crypto in AI, regulation and over-regulation in crypto AI, the potential interaction between AGI and centralized systems, proof of personhood and verifying authenticity, and Nous Research's mission and focus.
