Interesting; I hadn’t heard of DreamerV2. From a quick look at the paper, it looks like one might describe it as a step on the way to something like EfficientZero. Does that sound roughly correct?
it would be great to see older models incorporated as well
We may extend this to older models in the future. But our goal right now is to focus on these models’ public safety risks as standalone (or nearly standalone) systems. And prior to GPT-3, it’s hard to find models whose public safety risks were meaningful on a standalone basis — while an earlier model could have been used as part of a malicious act, for example, it wouldn’t be as central to such an act as a modern model would be.

Yes. They don’t share a common lineage, but are similar in that they’re both recent advances in efficient model-based RL. Personally speaking, I think this is the subfield to be closely tracking progress in, because 1) it has far-reaching implications in the long term and 2) it has garnered relatively little attention compared to other subfields.

I see. If you’d like to visualize trends though, you’ll need more historical data points, I think.

Thanks for the clarification — definitely agree with this.

Yeah, you’re right. Our thinking was that we’d be able to do this with future data points or by increasing the “density” of points within the post-GPT-3 era, but ultimately it will probably be necessary (and more compelling) to include somewhat older examples too.
