How Skill-it! enables faster, better LLM training
Humans learn tasks better when taught in a logical order. So do LLMs. Researchers developed a way to exploit this tendency called “Skill-it!”
4 new papers show foundation models can build on themselves
The surest way to improve foundation models is through more and better data, but Snorkel researchers showed FMs can learn from themselves.
