Becoming an Assistant
Captions available
The idea
A pretrained predictor becomes an assistant through post-training — instruction tuning on demonstrations of ask-and-answer, then preference tuning, where human judgments steer further descent.
In practice
Ask the raw predictor a question and its instinct is to continue the text — perhaps with more questions.
Where people slip
Any named system's recipe details are the company's to disclose — the pipeline here is the published shape.
