Unpopular opinion but advertising on your competitors name is fair game. Capitalism is at its best when companies fiercely compete with one another. Remember “Get A Mac” ads m.youtube.com/watch?v=1rV-db…?

A lot of people have questioned why we wrote our own distributed training code base at poolside. Most people assume it’s either for compute efficiency or some misplaced “not invented here” syndrome. The real motivation has always been to be able to iterate incredibly

Pretty sure who these providers are. Some data centers in our space are absolutely ridiculously badly designed and managed and others are just pure 😍. Having a bad cluster/DC for a little while isn’t bad though - it forces you to improve your monitoring, alerts, infra tools,

**Never** ignore the bitter lesson!

Everything that matters for foundation models can be bucketed in improving compute efficiency or improving data.

Jensen’s clarity of thought and soothing, patient speech can only be described as the Alan Watts of engineering 😁

If it feels like things are moving insanely fast in AI and you need to work nonstop, that’s not just your imagination. This will be a brief window where there’s a major platform shift, and there will be winners and losers as a result. Any other advice is likely wrong.

Did not expect this to have such an impact on me. Really worth reading: yurimilnermanifesto.org

So do we poolside ;) It is the bitter lesson: scaling of learning *and* search

This.

Thank you neptune.ai this release is ❤️❤️❤️

Spotted in one of the applications to poolside 🤣

Knowing what a great engineer Steeve Morin is, it's worth keeping an eye on what ZML is doing.

Writing correct code is much closer to playing Go than generating text that maximizes human preference. If you're interested in doing "proper" RL to improve LLM's reasoning and coding skills, join us at poolside!

I've consistently seen that organizations run by process fail, while organizations that win are run by a handful of opinionated individuals

I appreciate you America! If it wasn't for your entrepreneurial spirit and willingness to encourage the crazy ones, the world wouldn't move forward as fast.

Couldn’t agree more. For those who heard it in early 2023, you’ll remember this as the day 0 pitch of poolside.
