Description

Rohan Anil of Core Automation discusses the relationship between pretraining, reinforcement learning and learning after deployment. Drawing on his optimization work at Google and Anthropic, he examines why additional post-training, distillation and longer contexts may not solve continual learning. Other topics include second-order optimizers, distributed training, low-level coding agents and the difficulty of coordinating very large GPU clusters. Hosted by Ravid Shwartz Ziv and Allen Roush.
