Back in the interview chair with a general recap of the AI research ecosystem with one of my favorite people to talk to. Ross Taylor (former Llama reasoning lead) is back for round 2!

In this episode we cover some of everything.

Most important plot from IO today -- AI usage is skyrocketing. This is real.

OpenAI finally released the RL finetuning API today. I still stand by what I wrote about it 4 months ago while at some random NeurIPS cafe.

The one thing 2025 may be remembered for is when tool use and RL started to take off -- not just math and code. It feels like a major step in a new direction.

A lot of people vastly underestimate the amount of companies that cannot use Qwen and DeepSeek open models because they come from China. It's a common thing and makes the adoption of open models significantly slowed across enterprises (and mostly to Llama/Gemma).

🧵 🧵 🧵 I think that making LLMs resistant to exhibiting harmful behavior under few-shot tampering attacks might be one of the most useful goals for AI risk management in the next year.

Stoked to get the 1B OLMo 2 model out -- this will likely be our most used model. Getting a 1B model we were happy with was a wandering path. I've written some lessons from training it below.

TLDR is that its hard to know what is a good base model! natolambert.substack.com/p/in-between...

I don’t get the valuation. Someone explain it to me.

Does anyone know what this bill is about? Why was it rushed through with no public discussion? Feels ominous.

Why does @gmail make it so hard to manage subscriptions?! Surely there should be a mass unsubscribe and mass deletion button somewhere. It’s 2025 soon!

I really need to get to zero inbox one day. At this rate I don’t think I’ll make it before I die! 💀

When I was studying economics. I hated that in London your options were: banking, finance or consulting to get a living wage.

I would pray stats and research would pay well! I loved data, but research and econometric jobs paid terribly

Sometimes prayers are answered 🙏🤩🌟

Where do 99% of under 40s get 99% of their news from?

- Twitter
- reddit
- YouTube (and other video platforms)
- blogs
- telegram
(Or a mix of these)
i.e. influencers

It’s been like that for decades

Some ppl just noticed 😂

Wakey wakey 👋🏽

Trust in institutions is dead.

Welcome to the influencer era.
