A model that suddenly groks it feels cooler than one that learns smoothly

The post jokes that it feels cooler when a model suddenly “groks” something than when it learns smoothly from the start.
The image shows a training accuracy curve that stays around 0.5 for a while, then jumps sharply upward and gradually climbs toward the low 0.9s. The contrast between the abrupt phase change and a smooth learning curve is the whole punchline.
This is more of an AI-training meme than a substantive research claim, but it is the kind of chart people like to share in model-training circles.
