today we announced OPEN-1B, the world's first fully auditable transformer training run

OPEN-1B proves that we can log and audit every single step of AI training and inference, providing proof of its training data, recipe, biases, and weights

open.gensyn.ai OPEN models | Gensyn Gensyn trains open models in public. Follow open-8b as it trains, and replay a training step of open-1b or open-8b on your own hardware.

we're training the next fully auditable model and you can watch its training live

open-1b proved that auditable training (where every single parameter update can be re-run at-home on a laptop for bitwise exact comparison) is possible

open-8b will prove that it's useful

1/ Announcing open-8b live training

open-1b proved that verifiable training is possible, open-8b will prove that it can be useful

Every step is committed as it happens, and anyone can replay one

the massive forced AI security hardening happening rn is basically chaos monkey but for the entire internet - short term pain for everyone who is hands-on in exchange for long term resilience

Hard to overstate how big of a deal this is.

tl;dr — ANY unpatched Linux server with even a single TCP port exposed to the internet (say for HTTP or SSH) and MPTCP active (default for many Go web servers) is vulnerable to complete takeover.

prediction markets are cool mechanisms for accurate information elicitation but the big platforms are more focussed on getting people to part with money than they are on skin-in-the-game information elicitation

forecasting the flu is a challenge every year, we've made it better

Now Live: The Flu Forecast Game

A game to predict how many in the US will be hospitalised with flu each week, created by @gensynai researchers Raf Frongillo and Bo Waggoner

Why? Flu hospitalises 100s of 1000s each winter but severity is hard to predict

why do all of the AI generated songs pushing ideologies use the exact same voice
