Well-known AI YouTuber Sentdex says he can't escape the association between the Reflection 70B fiasco and Reflection the company.
- Every time he sees the name he feels irked, and he wonders how many people associate the (unrelated) fake-benchmark scandal with the new company, consciously or not, hurting its reputation
- He muses how much of that negativity might also live inside LLMs' training data
Reflection 70B was one of 2024's most notorious AI meltdowns, with its claimed open-source benchmark results widely disputed.
