Mind Crunches #28: Links to Finetune Your LLM
📌 Mind CrunchesOpenAI released two major new preview models last month: o1-preview and o1-mini previously rumored as having the codename “strawberry”. There’s a lot to understand about these models—they’re not as simple as the next step up from GPT-4o, instead introducing some major trade-offs in terms of cost and performance in exchange for improved “reasoning” capabilities. One way to think about these new models is as a specialized extension of the chain of thought prompting pattern—a “th...

Meditations on Tech, Decentralization & Complexity Theory
💡Things I Have Been ThinkingThe Convex vs Concave Debate about Decentralization: one of the things I have realized about the world is that most problems/challenges/debates can be viewed as a battle between convex and concave philosophies. If you aren’t familiar with these concepts, a concave pov is when someone tends to think that non-extreme (something in the middle) solutions are the best while convex theory promotes a binary way of thinking (this is the only solution). An area that the co...
