Large language models can train smaller language models and uplevel them quickly. Stanford researchers trained Alpaca 7B, a model fine-tuned from the LLaMA 7B model on 52K instruction-following demonstrations. they used GPT 3.5 to train it. On our preliminary evaluation of single-turn instruction following, Alpaca behaves qualitatively similarly to OpenAI’s text-davinci-003, while being surprisingly small …

Stephen McAleese, at Less Wrong, used scaling rules and formulas to try to predict the performance of GPT-4. He underpredicted the capabilities of GPT-4. However, he was not widely wrong. GPT-4 came out earlier than he expected and had better performance than expected. Multi-task Language Understanding on MMLU was better than expected. GPT-4 can work …
A preprint paper shows a correlation between high covid vaccination in 2021 and increased excess deaths in 2022 in Europe. Analysis of 31 countries, January to September, 2022 in 31 EU member states, plus Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Switzerland found that all-cause mortality, increased more the higher the 2021 vaccination uptake. Countries with more covid vaccines …
