Episode notes
Sequential Reasoning in Language Models
- Current RLHF language models primarily focus on optimizing individual responses, neglecting sequential reasoning.
- Real-world dialogues often involve long-term goals, requiring strategic planning beyond immediate preferences.
ChatGPT and Clarifying Questions
- ChatGPT rarely asks clarifying questions, revealing a weakness in sequential reasoning.
- Both Sergey Levine and Sam Charrington tried to make ChatGPT play 20 questions, highlighting this limitation.
Beyond Preferences in Language Models
- Current language models excel at mimicking human preferences, but future models should aim to maximize desired outcomes.
- This shift requires moving beyond preference-based RLHF and towards sequential RL, optimizing for end goals.
