A useful anchor for understanding the practical scaling-law and GPT-3 era, especially the people who turned broad intuition about scale into concrete training decisions.
Researcher Profile
Editor reviewedTom Brown
Large-scale language modeling
Co-author, Training Data Extraction
One of the clearest researchers to study for the GPT-3 era, especially around few-shot learning, scaling behavior, and what larger language models started making possible in practice.
