" Don’t overcomplicate workflows; the simplest thing that could possibly work is often best. "

" Evals define a shared definition of good with tests to measure it, and that is the secret sauce for building great AI products. "

" The model was baked and once it’s baked, it does not learn again until they bake a new one. "

" We want to keep our content evergreen by focusing on people skills and critical thinking, not just tools. "

" If you understand how engineers think about these models, you won’t be scared of concepts like synthetic data or tool use. "

" Domain experts are crucial for tagging data because users might say ‘that’s great,’ but experts can tell it’s totally wrong. "

" If a capability exists and is useful, it’s very likely the model will improve significantly on it over time. "

" Building evals is like building tests to know if your AI system is good enough, and you can rerun them as models improve. "

" Sometimes you have to build stuff and learn from it rather than wait for the perfect moment or tools. "

" This AI stuff is a new design material, just like the internet or mobile was before. "
