Episode notes
O1 Launch as PSYOP
- OpenAI's O1 launch suggested active search usage beyond reinforcement learning, creating a perception of advanced capabilities.
- This involved pre-launch discussions about "self-playing Qstar," Noam Brown's search team, and other strategic communications.
Fork in the Road for Language Models
- Language models are at a crossroads, exemplified by OpenAI's O1.
- Sasha Rush's lecture highlights four potential training aspects: guess-and-check, process rewards, search/AlphaZero, and learning to correct.
Controllable Test-Time Compute Narrative
- OpenAI's compute plot implies controllable test-time compute, potentially through a branching factor or generation parameter.
- This narrative is reinforced by linking controllable training compute with sampled test-time behavior.
