At the end of last year, we're like, all right, we are quite excited about the progress.

We haven't seen the models yet.

It's like, I'm going to write this check for, I don't know, like $100 billion or $200 billion.

I'm like, Alex, are you sure this is going to work?

It was so extreme that we had the whole exec team.

I think Susan scared you a bit.

Yeah, well, yeah, no. Well, it's like the joke every time we talked about it would just be like,

yeah, and we hope it's all going to work and be good.

But there were literally, like the end of last year, other than me giving a vibe report or how our research was going

and it could sort of show some plots and whatnot.

But it was like, I mean, I was feeling good about it, but it was certainly not clear at all that it was going to work.

You guys are saying

that the essence of training a frontier model is you have to push your chips all in before

you've been dealt the cards.

You just have to decide that you're going to develop a frontier model and you don't get to meter the investment.

At this scale.

I mean, back a few years ago, the clusters didn't have to be this big, but now they do.

So I think this is part of the excitement of brooding up a frontier lab

now is basically like the ante is extremely high.

מהי טכניקת השאדואינג?

שאדואינג היא טכניקת למידת שפה מבוססת מדע שפותחה במקור להכשרת מתורגמנים מקצועיים ופופולרית על ידי הפוליגלוט ד"ר אלכסנדר ארגואלס. השיטה פשוטה אך עוצמתית: אתה מקשיב לאודיו באנגלית ילידית וחוזר עליו בקול רם מיד — כמו צל העוקב אחרי הדובר עם עיכוב של 1–2 שניות בלבד. בניגוד להאזנה פסיבית או תרגילי דקדוק, שאדואינג מכריח את המוח והשרירים בפה לעבד ולשחזר דפוסי דיבור אמיתיים בו זמנית. מחקרים מראים שזה משפר משמעותית את דיוק ההגייה, האינטונציה, הקצב, הדיבור המחובר, הבנת השמיעה ושטף הדיבור — מה שהופך אותו לאחת השיטות היעילות ביותר להכנה לIELTS Speaking ולתקשורת באנגלית בעולם האמיתי.
