Building data infrastructure is crucial for training large language models and making them scalable.

"A lot of the work originally just went into building data infrastructure, like modernizing the data infrastructure in a way where you can answer questions like that, where you can pull in data from any particular Reple to process, to make available for search and moving all of that data into a format where you can do all of this in minutes."
4

The vibe test is an essential aspect of evaluating large language models, focusing on the model's 'feel' and overall user experience.

"It really kind of depends on like how snappy the completion is, what the latency feels like."
