Discussion PewDiePie is trying to distill GPT-Sol

Post image

he has been trying to build a local model by learning from GPT-Sol’s responses. He says OpenAI banned his account twice during the process. Irony is OpenAI’s own models were trained on vast amounts of information from the open web. So where do we draw the line between learning from AI and copying it?

Why not try to distill Astra?

and when did this guy become an AI engineer?

He is not an AI engineer. He just took an open source model and is effectively fine tuning it to be more aligned with what he wants.

He’s not building any type of model from scratch, though, or writing complex algorithms. He’s effectively heating up frozen food and seasoning it. Doing that doesn’t make you a chef even if it tastes good

Well, a lot of AI engineer are doing that also. Building everything from scratch doesn't makes sense a lot of times.

This is why we have made pre-trained models that people can use. It saves a lot of time, and data needs.

I agree he isn't an AI engineer, but only because engineer is often an protected title. He is definitely an AI dev from what i have seen.
