I love the title "Big LLMs" because it means that we are now making a distinction between big LLMs and minute LLMs and maybe medium LLMs. I'd like to propose the we call them "Tall LLMs", "Grande LLMs", and "Venti LLMs" just to be precise.

And the US ‘small’ LLMs will actually be slightly larger than the ‘large’ LLMs in the UK.

Doesn't the first L in LLM mean large already? It's like saying Automated ATM. Whoever wrote it barely knows what the acronym means. This whole article feels like written by someone who doesn't understand the subject matter at all

Almost everyone says ‘PIN number’ as well.

Dismissed, Big LLM will live on along with Big Data.

I wonder how does the skinnies get dressed oversea: I wear European S which translate to XXS in the US, but there’s many people skinnier than me, still within a “normal" BMI. Do they have to find XXXS? Do they wear oversized clothes? Choosing trousers is way easier because the system of cm/inches of length+perimeter correspond to real values.

Well, big data for me was always clear -- when data sizes are too large to use regular tools (ls, du, wc, vi, pandas).

I.e. when pretty much every tool or script I used before doesn't work anymore, and need a special tool (gsutil, bq, dusk, slurm), it's a mind shift.

That's really what these are: something analogous to JPEG for language, and queryable in natural language. Tangent: I was thinking the other day: these are not AI in the sense that they are not primarily intelligence . I still don't see much evidence of that. What they do give me is superhuman memory. The main thing I use them for is search, research, and a "rubber duck" that talks back, and it's like having an inter…

I regularly pushback against casual uses of the word “intelligence”. First, there is no objective dividing line. It is a matter of degree relative to something else. Any language that suggests otherwise should be refined or ejected from our culture and language. Language’s evolution doesn’t have to be a nosedive. Second, there are many definitions of intelligence; some are more useful than others. Along with many, I…

We never would have been able to create science, if it weren't for focusing on the kinds of thinking that can be made logical. There's a big difference. What you're doing, with this whole "let's make a bullshit word logical" is more similar to medieval scholasticism, which was a vain attempt at verbal precision. https://justine.lol/dox/english.txt

Big LLM is too long as a name. We should agree on calling them BLLMs. Surely everyone is going to remember what the letters stand for.

I want to apologize for this joke in advance. It had to be done.

We could take a page from Trump’s book and call them “Beautiful” LLMs. Then we’d have “Big Beautiful LLMs” or just “BBLs” for short.

Surely that wouldn’t cause any confusion when Googling.

We ordered swag T-shirts for a conference from two providers, but EU provider L's were actually larger than US L!
