alt Hacker NewsVery cool to see more small open models being worked on!
One nit: I've seen on this homepage, and many others, this notion that the people behind the models are "working towards AGI".
I get that this is marketing speak, but transformers are not AGI, and they will never be AGI, so it'd be great if people stopped saying that as it sort of wears out the meaning of "working towards AGI".

What does AGI mean to you?
Transformers have approximate knowledge of many things. Is this not 'general'? Where is the goalpost here?

Like the claim "transformers are AGI", this needs proof, otherwise should be prefixed "I think". And honestly, positive proof is easier than negative proof (you just need to make one transformer model that is a AGI, whereas the never claim requires you to enumerated all possibilities).
