Architecture
Design choices that make a model trainable, scalable, and expressive.
A working notebook on the systems behind frontier AI — experiments, paper notes, and reading logs, organized by aspect. Filled in over time.
Design choices that make a model trainable, scalable, and expressive.
Data, objectives, scaling laws, and the infrastructure behind training at frontier scale.
What models can and cannot do — evaluations, emergent skills, real-world gaps.
SFT, preference optimization, RL from human and verifiable feedback, distillation, tool-use, reasoning.
Cross-cutting reads — model families compared, how the aspects interact, where the frontier is heading.
