Pre-training Insights

Pre-training is likened to the imitation learning phase of AlphaGo, where a neural network acquires foundational skills. This process elevates the model from zero to a competent level, making it powerful. Post-training, on the other hand, focuses on reinforcing good behaviors, akin to AlphaGo's reinforcement learning phase, enhancing the model's performance in conversational contexts. The underlying strategies for training both AlphaGo and Gemini share remarkable similarities.
