Benlus · reddit · 2026-08-04
A 2026 paper by Gladstone et al., titled "Explorative Modeling: Unlocking a Third Pretraining Axis and End-to-End Generation," has sparked discussion in the r/mlscaling community. The research proposes a new paradigm called "explorative modeling," attempting to unlock a third axis of pretraining scaling alongside existing dimensions, while achieving end-to-end generation capabilities.
