Scaling Compute on Context — Jack Morris, Engram
Jack Morris from Engram explains why it is difficult to get AI models to understand private company data.
Models are trained on public internet data and perform very well there, but when you try to teach them your own data, they often become nearly useless when generating results. He describes three classical ways to improve this—more data, more computing power, and larger models—but says that when it comes to private data, only computing power is a viable option. He goes through various techniques such as KV-compression and synthetic training data, but shows that they all plateau once the model has learned everything you've given it, and there is no magical way to continue improving with more computing power.
