Focus on AI2's transition to a more academic organization

AI2 is in the process of transitioning from being solely academic to proving themselves as a unique place for multi-organizational evaluation to happen. They aim to compare models and gain trust from the government as a nonprofit organization focused on understanding language models scientifically. This ambitious goal requires a significant amount of compute power, making the acquisition of GPUs crucial. While there are discussions on which institutions can manage GPUs better, AI2 emphasizes the need for clear communication and standards in the evaluation space, particularly for open-ended evaluations.
