From the discussion
A few top-level comments from Hacker News, shortened. Read the full thread on Hacker News.
I find some of these to be a little confusing, like an important detail is left out. In the RLHF one [0], for example, it makes sense that setting beta high pulls to distribution toward the "how likely the starting model was" distribution. But why does a low beta select for only the "Polished, wrong" and a low-ish…
I found this quite useful to understand the concepts of eval, in an interactive way.
