Episode notes
ULMO 2: Fully Open And Reproducible
- Allen AI released ULMO 2 with fully open weights, code, checkpoints, and training data.
- They stabilized training, patched late pretraining with curated data, and published their evaluation 'North Star' metrics.
QWQ 32B Targets Analytical Reasoning
- QWQ (QGE) 32B is a recent open-source model focused on analytical reasoning using chain-of-thought.
- It mirrors OpenAI O1's strengths on math and logic but can lag on nuanced language tasks.
Ensemble Timing Shapes Cost And Complexity
- Ensembles combine outputs rather than parameters and can operate before, during, or after inference.
- Ensemble methods increase inference cost and require routing, stepwise alignment, or post-selection logic depending on timing.
