“Notably, O3-MINI, despite being one of the best reasoning models, frequently skipped essential proof steps by labeling them as “trivial”, even when their validity was crucial.”

You didn’t link to the study; you linked to the PR release for the study. This and this are the papers linked in the blog post.

Note that the papers haven’t been published anywhere other than on Anthropic’s online journal. Also, what the papers are doing is essentially tea leaf reading. They take a look at the swill of tokens, point at some clusters, and say, “there’s a dog!” or “that’s a bird!” or “bitcoin is going up this year!”. It’s all rubbish dawg

Fair enough, you’re the only person with a reasonable argument, as nobody else can seem to do anything other than name calling.

Linking to the actual papers and pointing out they haven’t been published to a third party journal is far more productive than whatever anti-scientific bullshit the other commenters are doing.

We should be people of science, not reactionaries.

reactionaries

So, how does any of this relate to wanting to go back to an imagined status quo ante? (yes, I refuse to use reactionary in any other way than to describe politcal movements. Conservatives do not can fruits).

E: I see i got a downvote, ow god do we have tankies?

your argument would be immensely helped if you posted science instead of corporate marketing brochures

This isn’t debate club or men of science hour, this is a forum for making fun of idiocy around technology. If you don’t like that you can leave (or post a few more times for us to laugh at before you’re banned).

As to the particular paper that got linked, we’ve seen people hyping LLMs misrepresent their research as much more exciting than it actually is (all the research advertising deceptive LLMs for example) many many times already, so most of us weren’t going to waste time to track down the actual paper (and not just the marketing release) to pick apart the methods. You could say (raises sunglasses) our priors on it being bullshit were too strong.

you got banned before I got to you, but holy fuck are you intolerable

We should be people of science, not reactionaries.

which we should do by parroting press releases and cherry picking which papers count as science, of course

but heaven forbid anyone is rude when they rightly tell you to go fuck yourself

It’s an anti-fun version of listening to dark side of the moon while watching the wizard of oz.

To be fair, the typesetting of the papers is quite pleasant and the pictures are nice.
