The Evolution of Open Post-Training Techniques
Open post-training has evolved significantly since the development of initial language models like ChatGPT, showcasing new methodologies and practices aimed at enhancing model performance. The introduction of direct preference optimization (DPO) marked a critical turning point, leading to the emergence of breakthrough DPO models such as Zephyr Beta and Tulu-2, which confirmed the effectiveness of lower learning rates in training. These advancements have highlighted the competitive landscape in open-source AI, where early adopters of techniques like reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF) gained a distinct advantage. Consequently, organizations like Anthropic have established themselves as leaders in this space through extensive research, shining a light on the gap between open collaboration and closed lab capabilities in AI development.
