  1. Our readingPre-training is not the process by which humans learn; it sits somewhere between human learning and human evolution.

    Their wordsI think there's something going on that pre-training it's it's not like the process of humans learning. It's somewhere between the process of humans learning and the process of human evolution.

  3. Our readingRL environments exist to make a model generalise, not to teach it each skill one at a time — exactly as pre-training does.

    Their wordsthe goal is not to teach the model every possible skill within RL just as we don't do that within pre-training, right? Within pre-training, we're not trying to expose the model to, you know, every every possible you know, way that words could be put together, right? You know, we're it's it's rather that the model trains on a lot of things and then and then it reaches generalization across pre-training, right?
