Reviewers at NeurIPS are reportedly asking for evaluations on bigger, more advanced open-source models.
- The post says the community has clearly moved beyond the 8B era.
- As an example, a reviewer reportedly asked for evaluations of GPT-OSS, a 21B MoE model.
- The author also notes that such models would likely need fine-tuning as well, which signals a higher bar for open-source model submissions and comparisons.
