Larry Dial(@classiclarryd):Researchers' brilliant ideas often get lost in the sea of endless SOTA claims on weak baselines. At Marin we battle-test ideas in an open arena, where anyone's idea can be promoted to the next hero run. One that recently rose up was @Jianlin_S MoE Quantile Balancing, used in our last 1e22 and ongoing 130B run. Animated visuals of how QB performed are available in the OpenAthena blog.
