Joke: delay the 1000T model hero run to reproduce an Albanian grammar quirk
tallinzen · x · 2026-09-09
A satirical AI-community joke: the author imagines proposing to delay the hero run of a new 1000T-parameter model by weeks to allocate all compute toward replicating a grammaticality asymmetry in Albanian — even suggesting $20M in inference budget on subject-verb agreement. Pokes fun at interpretability/linguistics researchers competing with pretraining teams for compute.
