happy to answer any questions. i think my higher level insight to paraphrase McLuhan, "first the model shapes the harness, then the harness shapes the model". this is the first model that combines cognition's new gb200 cluster, cerebras' cs3 inference, and data from our evals work with {partners} as referenced in https://www.theinformation.com/articles/anthropic-openai-usi...
this is not a question and an assertion that your values are more important than mine, with none of my context nor none of your reasoning. you see how this tone is an issue?
regardless of what i'm allowed to say, i will personally defend that actually its increasingly less important the qualities of the base model you choose as long as its "good enough", bc then the RL/posttrain qualities and data takes over from there and is the entire point of differentiation
If you had enough tokens to completely wash out the parent latent distribution you would have just trained a new model instead of fine tuning. That means by definition your model is still inheriting properties of the parent, and for your business customers who want predictable, understandable systems, knowing the inherited properties of your model is going to be useful.
I think the real reason is that it's a Chinese model (I mean, come on) and your parent company doesn't want any political blowback.
Originally I just wanted to know what their base model was out of curiosity. Since they fired off such a friendly reply, now I want to know if they're trying to pass off a fine tuned Chinese model to government customers who have directives to avoid Chinese models with hand waiving about how it's safe now because they did some RL on it.
