Artificial Analysis: Comparing AI Models Across Intelligence, Speed, Price
By
–
People at Artificial Analysis are doing good job on comparing models across important axes: intelligence, speed, and price. And for all modalities and tasks: language, speech, video, image, code. Benchmarks are not perfect but there is no other way to know a model is better than

LLM Reasoning: Scaling Inference Compute and Chain of Thought Optimization
By
–
A great talk on "learning to reason with LLMs" by Naom Brown(
@polynoamial
). – Scale compute at inference time, not just train time. Let the model "think longer" using RL to improve reasoning. More like System 2 thinking, but for LLMs. – Optimize the "chain of thought" with -

Early RLHF Paper: From Supervised Fine-tuning to Personality in Language Models
By
–
[Slides] This is one of the earliest papers on RLHF (if not the first, alongside InstructGPT). Before RLHF, language models didn’t really have personalities—they mostly relied on supervised fine-tuning or clever prompting to understand humans. Think back to the InstructGPT days.
