wtf you can just initialize a new lora every training step and merge it into the base model at the end of the step, and it converges even with...rank 1

So maybe I'm crazy, but has anyone actually looked at the data in the nemotron dataset? Some odd stuff in their RL data 😅 Looking to split it out into license categories to make it much easier to deal with for now.

how to accelerate the development of novel LLM evals: > don't talk about evals > talk about RL > RL is sexy > talk about agents > agents are sexy > evals are booooring > ok so we wanna train better agents > let's make some RL environments > let's get some prompts > your prompts…

i just wrote my first long-form post on evals. what they are, where they work, where they don't, and what i think the future looks like. if you're building an ai product, you should read this.

RL Fried Would that be: A language model so hell bent on the reward it's lost a hold on what makes an llm interesting.

You know it's serious when @jorandirkgreef, who has stated that he doesn't like benchmark wars, does a benchmark...

AI twitter, we need to talk. You can't only be throwing around "evals" without a single mention of benchmarking. You're killing us out here. "Not enough people are benchmarking their models" is super easy to understand. Am I mistaken? Can we talk about any differences?

If you've never messed with a local llm, you're doing yourself a disservice. It is much better to understand the capabilities and limitations with your bare hands than to blindly trust. I don't care if you don't have a GPU! Qwen3 is remarkably capable even at their small range
