Comparing fine-tuned weights to the base model is the post’s most interesting idea

The author says the new generalist post is visually interesting but light on details. The one idea they find notable is comparing the differences between fine-tuned model weights and the base model weights.
They think the visualization looks great, but it is still unclear how informative or useful it really is. They plan to try the same approach on their own models and share the results.
