Why is it "two buck chuck" and not "two bucks chuck"? Is this like the "maple leafs" vs "maple leaves"? English plurals are insane

RLVR isn't just for math and coding! At @databricks, it's impacting products and users across domains. One example: SQL Q&A. We hit the top of the BIRD single-model single-generation leaderboard with our standard TAO+RLVR recipe - the one rolling out in our Agent Bricks product.

Hey @MiniMax__AI, I'm trying to serve M1-80k on vLLM. Your docs say "a server with 8 H800s can process inputs up to 2 million tokens" but then recommend --max_model_len 4096. What settings did you use for 2M tokens? I'm trying this on 8 H100s.

@GergelyOrosz I always keep in mind the following: When you talk to someone you have the responsibility to do your best to adapt to the other person skill level. If you don't then you are disrespecting the other person and you are losing your time.

There's nothing quite like seeing "thought leaders" write about a topic you're very familiar with to disabuse you of the notion that they have any idea what they're talking about.
