INSIGHT

Post-training Impact on LLMs

  • John Schulman wasn't fully convinced of the revolutionary potential of LLMs until after GPT-3.
  • After GPT-3's success, the focus shifted to leveraging language models.
  • Post-training methods yield significant improvements, even surpassing web data quality in model output.
  • GPT-4's Elo score increased significantly (100 points) primarily due to post-training enhancements.
  • Several factors, like data quality, iterations, and annotation changes contribute to this compute increase.
