A model should ideally be large enough to achieve a decent pass rate on the hardest training environments, but making it larger than necessary would waste inference compute.

The transcript segments this claim was taken from
“point where you know you can get like a decent pass at one or something on like the the hardest environments you have and like it wouldn't make sense to like make a bigger bigger model pass there because then you're just paying like much more inference That. what than you need to um so there's there's a lot of impetus like depends on how quickly you know like macore and then in-house these these guys can scale up the complexity the oral environments they're training on”Play from 1:12:00Report a misattribution
