It seems like this could benefit the smaller labs working on LLMs and toward AGI.
Chinchilla basically made it seem like only the big-data companies would have the means to produce competitive models going forward. But if generative models can produce their own data for reliable self-improvement, that shows a way forward for companies like Anthropic who don’t have massive private data sources to train on (e.g. data from YouTube or Facebook Messenger).
