Large Models

The large-model topic tracks progress in foundation models themselves: new releases, the gap between open and closed source, the gap between Chinese and American models, and the economics of training and inference. Regular guests include Hugging Face engineers and practitioners, with a systematic review every quarter. The core questions: where has the capability frontier moved, how fast is the cost curve falling, and who is falling behind. Judgment over news — everyone can watch the launch events; we care about which improvements are real and which are marketing.
