This is largely a side effect of mimicking the distribution on the internet via pretraining.
It's a good basis for setting up a model of the world since we have so much data and it's free.
Post-training techniques like DPO and RLHF are then about using minimal hand-curated data (expensive!) to shift that distribution closer to standard human / desired behavior.
It will continue to get better -- early versions of chat gpt were taught to say "I don't know" with something like 20 training examples and it got substantially better off of those. As that number of training examples increases with the amount of capital invested, there will be more patterns that get latched onto and expressed by attention in these models.

It will take time but they'll get pretty robust. Models will still be susceptible to Dunning-Kruger / ignorance. They aren't perfect AND it's in their training data thanks to us humans that they're copying.
A single synchronous request is not a good way to understand cost here unless your workload is truly singular tiny requests. Chatgpt handles many requests in parallel and this article's 4 GPU setup certainly can handle more too.
It is miraculous that the cost comparison isn't worse given how adversarial this test is.
Larger requests, concurrent requests, and request queueing will drastically reduce cost here.
Of course, we already need to be working in Spaghetti ints or prepping them will be as complex than a linear scan.
Can't wait for spaghetti arithmetic.
Do we have a better algo than log(n) for locating the min?
I'm thinking spaghetti max align them, lay them across an arm at the midway point, sweep the shorts that fell, and repeat until all remaining are same length.
In some places, it's "gay" if two guys hold hands. On the racist bit: it can be hard to disambiguate why someone treats you in an unfavorable way -- it could be because they're actually racist or they could just be a pissy person who hates their job.
Just because a person or group of people classifies you a certain way doesn't make it universally true.
You can get most products on prem at a certain price & size. A lot of companies will apply resistance though unless the contract size is right b/c on-prem contracts tend to be less unit-profitable, risky, + unique annoying terms or constraints.
If you * need * it, you find a human to talk to (sales or connect from your network).
Is there a design paper somewhere? Curious how this was accomplished (and what trade-offs / failure modes it has):
"System uses a consistency sharding algorithm, lock-free design, task scheduling is accurate down to the second, supporting lightweight distributed computing and unlimited horizontal scaling"
