  • Join Tommy Shaughnessy from Delphi Ventures as he hosts Sam Lehman, Principal at Symbolic Capital and AI researcher, for a deep dive into the Reinforcement Learning (RL) renaissance and its implications for decentralized AI. Sam recently authored a widely discussed post, "The World's RL Gym", exploring the evolution of AI scaling and the exciting potential of decentralized networks for training next-generation models.

The World’s RL Gym: https://www.symbolic.capital/writing/the-worlds-rl-gym

    🎯 Key Highlights

    The three phases of AI scaling: Pre-training, Inference Time Compute, and the RL Renaissance.

    How DeepMind's novel RL approach (using GRPO) created powerful reasoning models with minimal human data.

    Understanding "reasoning traces" and how models learn to "think" longer and more effectively.

    The potential downsides of human preference data potentially inhibiting model creativity, drawing parallels to AlphaGo.

    Exploring the "World's RL Gym" concept: Decentralizing RL through open environments, diverse tasks, and verified data.

    Why open, collaborative RL environments might outperform closed-source labs in generating diverse AI strategies.

    The critical role of high-quality base models for successful RL fine-tuning.

    Future AI architectures: Continuous learning and the potential of modular Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) models.

    Current landscape: Open-source vs. proprietary AI, the challenge of model lock-in, and the role of crypto networks.

    Debunking recent claims that "RL is dead" and understanding its true impact.
