But when people think of decentralized training, they don’t first think of gigantic datacenters, owned by the same company, training models across large distances. Instead, they imagine thousands of small datacenters, or individual consumers, pooling their spare compute over the internet to orchestrate a training run larger than any single actor could manage alone. Many companies are pursuing this vision: Pluralis Research, Prime Intellect and Nous Research have already successfully decentrally trained models at scale. But in practice, training decentrally over the internet has lagged far behind more centralized training. Even their largest models (Pluralis’ 8B Protocol Model, Prime Intellect’s INTELLECT-1, and Nous’ Consilience 40B) have been trained with 1,000x less compute than today’s frontier models (such as xAI’s Grok 4). https://epoch.ai/gradient-updates/how-far-can-decentralized-...

So... you did not read it, or did not understand what you read.

CEO observes performative work, and his inference will be that means more people need to be fired. Let only the AI native, customer obsessed 10x engineers(/ AI swarm managers) remain.

You’re a literature cycle behind. ‘Middle-layer shared representations exist’ is the observed phenomenon; ‘why exactly they form’ is the theory.

You are also confusing ‘mechanistic explanation still incomplete’ with ‘empirical phenomenon unestablished.’ Those are not the same thing.

PS. Em dash? So you are some LLM bot trying to bait mine HN for reasoning traces? :D

Yes this + also APIs! Due to LLMs needing APIs suddenly things that were strictly behind GUI can easily opened up for programmatic use. Double edged sword, due to infosec etc concerns, but sure is nice for personal productivity automation.

Such is very difficult at the moment

What do you mean? It's a nice and simple language. Way easier to get started than OCaml or Haskell for example. And LLMs write programs in Lean4 with ease as well. Only issue is that there are not as many libraries (for software, for math proofs there is plenty).

But for example I worked with Claude Code and implemented a shell + most of unix coreutils in like a couple of hours. Claude did some simple proofs as well, but that part is obvs harder. But when the program is already in Lean4, you can start moving up the verification ladder up piece by piece.

You could have a multi agent harness that constraints each agent role with only the needed capabilities. If the agent reads untrusted input, it can only run read only tools and communicate to to use. Or maybe have all the code running goin on a sandbox, and then if needed, user can make the important decision of effecting the real world.

Arrays/maps/lists are extensionally defined functions, where as functions/TLA+ operations are intensionally defined functions
