David Deutsch says all computation from humans to LLMs shares the same fundamental power: the universal Turing machine The difference is only in programs and outputs. But AGI is different; we don't even understand it in principle. "so the true sign would be a theory, not a machine"

Does GPT understand the world? Here is what Ilya Sutskever, co-founder of OpenAI, says during a discussion with Jensen Huang, CEO of Nvidia: (1) When we train a large neural network to accurately predict the next word in lots of different texts from the internet, the AI is learning a world model. (2) On the surface, it may look like learning correlations in text, but it turns out that to 'just learn' statistical correlations in text, to compress information really well, what the neural network learns is some representation of the process that produced the text. (3) This text is a projection of the world...what the neural network is learning is aspects of the world, of people, of the human conditions, their hopes, dreams, motivations, their interactions...the situations we are in. The neural network learns a compressed, abstract, usable representation." Do you think learning representations = understanding? Are large language models simply stochastic parrots, or are they much more?

📁 Geoffrey Hinton, a pioneer of deep learning, says LLMs do understand what they say. He explains that understanding language is not translating it into an internal symbolic code. In neural networks, words act like Lego blocks that combine to form meaning. It is not translation, it is structure. That is what real language understanding looks like.

.Eric Jang explains the fundamental intuition behind AlphaGo: experienced Go players almost always end games early. That means they have the ability to glance at a board and instantly know whether it's hopeless or if they should keep playing. Without this ability, the only way to know if a move is good is to play out every possible game from that point - completely intractable. But the ability is clearly trainable in humans. So it should be possible to get a neural net to learn it. And if you have a good enough neural net, you can use it to ignore moves that will definitely make you lose. Suddenly search becomes tractable.

RL is a powerful mechanism for training company-specific models on their unique work and data. This is what we do at Applied Compute. A key challenge is how to make RL efficient, because we need runs to be fast (delivered in days), cheap (scalable unit economics), and predictable (not just fast, but reliably fast). Here are some takeaways: • Synchronous RL is wasteful with time and compute. • Asynchronous RL is more efficient but introduces staleness, which causes learning instabilities. • Modeling and simulations can help analytically solve for what configuration leads to optimal efficiency. This allows us to rapidly prototype training configurations, without burning expensive compute cycles on trial runs. Two of our co-founders, Rhythm Garg and Linden Li, discussed some of this research at AI Engineer recently, with a focus on the following subproblem: what is the highest throughput way to do RL given a maximum staleness and compute budget?

We asked Sholto Douglas from Anthropic about the costs of RL (Reinforcement Learning) runs. "In Dario Amodei's essay, he said that RL runs cost only $1M back in December." "RL is a more naively parallelizable and scalable than pre-training." "With pre-training, you need everything in one big data center ideally. For RL, in theory, you could scale all over the world."

I like to think of evals as something active, not passive -- it's a North Star that steers LLMs toward higher intelligence. Evals should drive your RL/SFT/post-training decisions. Internal evals at frontier labs make a huge difference -- and you can see it in how models behave differently (GPT seems better at one-shot tasks, Claude at multi-turn). If you want to learn more about building evals that actually improve your model in post-training, check out our AMD x DeeplearningAI course "Fine-tuning & RL for LLMs: Intro to Post-training" (content is free):

David Silver says human data is AI's fossil fuel. "We mine it and burn it in our LLMs." It gave us a head start -- but it will run out. The sustainable path is reinforcement learning: systems that learn from experience, generate more, and keep learning.

New Course: Post-training of LLMs Learn to post-train and customize an LLM in this short course, taught by Banghua Zhu, Assistant Professor at the University of Washington University of Washington, and co-founder of @NexusflowX. Training an LLM to follow instructions or answer questions has two key stages: pre-training and post-training. In pre-training, it learns to predict the next word or token from large amounts of unlabeled text. In post-training, it learns useful behaviors such as following instructions, tool use, and reasoning. Post-training transforms a general-purpose token predictor—trained on trillions of unlabeled text tokens—into an assistant that follows instructions and performs specific tasks. Because it is much cheaper than pre-training, it is practical for many more teams to incorporate post-training methods into their workflows than pre-training. In this course, you’ll learn three common post-training methods—Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT), Direct Preference Optimization (DPO), and Online Reinforcement Learning (RL)—and how to use each one effectively. With SFT, you train the model on pairs of input and ideal output responses. With DPO, you provide both a preferred (chosen) and a less preferred (rejected) response and train the model to favor the preferred output. With RL, the model generates an output, receives a reward score based on human or automated feedback, and updates the model to improve performance. You’ll learn the basic concepts, common use cases, and principles for curating high-quality data for effective training. Through hands-on labs, you’ll download a pre-trained model from Hugging Face and post-train it using SFT, DPO, and RL to see how each technique shapes model behavior. In detail, you’ll: - Understand what post-training is, when to use it, and how it differs from pre-training. - Build an SFT pipeline to turn a base model into an instruct model. - Explore how DPO reshapes behavior by minimizing contrastive loss—penalizing poor responses and reinforcing preferred ones. - Implement a DPO pipeline to change the identity of a chat assistant. - Learn online RL methods such as Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO) and Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO), and how to design reward functions. - Train a model with GRPO to improve its math capabilities using a verifiable reward. Post-training is one of the most rapidly developing areas of LLM training. Whether you’re building a high-accuracy context-specific assistant, fine-tuning a model's tone, or improving task-specific accuracy, this course will give you experience with the most important techniques shaping how LLMs are post-trained today.
