NOTE

Reflect on Advances: It's Not Thinking, Just Generating

Recent advancements in AI, specifically in reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF), show a shift in how models are tuned. The focus has moved to preference tuning within the chain of thought generation rather than fundamental changes in model architecture or size. Although there have been notable innovations in mixtures of models and training techniques in the past, the current updates merely involve adjustments in the prompt sets used in the RLHF process. This highlights a reduction in the complexity of change, suggesting that the user interface is applying these updates in a novel way. Despite claims of the model 'thinking' during text generation, it's important to recognize that the model is not capable of thought; it primarily produces text outputs based on learned patterns.
