RL researcher Arohan praises John Langford's Full Bandwidth Transformer research as one of the year's most beautiful works. Cited experiments from ByteDance suggest a variant could match a model twice its size, implying major training and inference savings on a near-trillion-dollar industry investment. Langford also wrote 'The End of AI Frontiers', a bittersweet milestone for those involved.
