GitHub has alternatives, but no replacement

The author is concerned that Codeberg's decision to prohibit AI-written code has exposed a gap in the open-source space, where there are few places to host an open-source community. The author believes a shared social layer is needed to replace GitHub, which provides a shared pool of identities, habits, and paths to discovery.

Explorative modeling: Train on the best of K guesses

https://alexiglad.github.io/assets/img/blog/xm/pred_images_ground_truth.png
TLDR: We introduce Explorative Modeling, a new paradigm for generative modeling that acts as a third pretraining axis when added to existing generative models, and also enables end-to-end generation. Increasing exploration monotonically improves existing models across images, video, and language, and the gains grow with scale (7%→36% with data, 13%→23% with parameters). Concretely, ...
