I thought it was just me but it's actually everyone ! Mods, you are on power trip, you are controlling the narrative. This subreddit is the most horrible I have encountered so far, you can't even post anything on this subreddit.

Most posts are from a few accounts, not sure if they are even people or bots. Mod have admitted that they deleted almost all post on other post a day ago.

Delete this post and ban me if you want, like you have done so many times before to different people for asking you questions !

Original Title: OpenAI CPO Kevin Weil says the o1 reasoning model is only at the GPT-2 level so it will improve very quickly as they are only at the beginning of scaling the inference-time compute paradigm, and by the time competitors catch up to o1, they will be 3 steps ahead

Lot of people talking about it at the start of the week and now it's radio silence. Wonder if it was bait?

Original Title: OpenAI reaffirm that they want to expand both the GPT series and the o1 series. As we can see on the graph, OpenAI is still convinced that development is exponential. They have also already started to test and run evals on the full o1 model, which is the next iteration following o1-preview.

Abstract

We introduce Latent Action Pretraining for general Action models (LAPA), the first unsupervised method for pretraining Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models without ground-truth robot action labels. Existing Vision-Language-Action models require action labels typically collected by human teleoperators during pretraining, which significantly limits possible data sources and scale. In this work, we propose a method to learn from internet-scale videos that do not have robot action labels. We first train an action quantization model leveraging VQ- VAE-based objective to learn discrete latent actions between image frames, then pretrain a latent VLA model to predict these latent actions from observations and task descriptions, and finally finetune the VLA on small-scale robot manipulation data to map from latent to robot actions. Experimental results demonstrate that our method significantly outperforms existing techniques that train robot manipulation policies from large-scale videos. Furthermore, it outperforms the state-of- the-art VLA model trained with robotic action labels on real-world manipulation tasks that require language conditioning, generalization to unseen objects, and semantic generalization to unseen instructions. Training only on human manipulation videos also shows positive transfer, opening up the potential for leveraging web-scale data for robotics foundation model.

I know some people are just super active and good at sharing relevant news or tweets, but... isn't this a little weird? It makes me wonder: Are these accounts genuinely providing content that the community wants, or is it just a case of a couple of users (even, possibly, bots) dominating the conversation?

In a sub that's all about actively thinking and discussing the future, this comes across as pure propaganda to me.

Not trying witch hunt, nor am I going to call out the accounts (you do that yourself if you want to verify, and it also helps to tag their names if you have RES).

Just curious about what everyone thinks.
