🚀 Eval Protocol is Open Sourced!
Reinforcement fine-tuning is complicated, because there are hundreds of environments and tens of trainers you can pick and choose and integrate with. Even worse, in production, agents don’t live in clean “gyms.” They operate in messy, async environments - flaky APIs, partial observability, conflicting objectives, long feedback loops.
We solve that problem by open sourcing Eval Protocol. The goal is for you to build your production RFT flow without reinventing the wheel of managing such complex integration.
👉 Day 0 support for trainers and environments like TRL (@huggingface), @rllm_project , OpenEnv (@PyTorch), as well as support for proprietary trainers like @OpenAI RFT and @thinkymachines Tinker. More to come.
👉 Instrument agents in production instead of toy or simulated environments
👉 Move from offline benchmarks to live, continuous improvement

Amazon is full of shit and I'm going to tell you how.
Who am I and how do I know?
In the past 12 months, my toy company Viahart, sold $5.6 million worth of toys on Amazon's platform. I have also testified before Congress on Amazon.

History has shown that the 3 most important forces are 1) the debt/economic cycle, 2) internal gaps in wealth, values, and politics, and 3) external conflicts that occur when countries get strong enough to challenge the existing leading world power and the existing world order.

I was just handed a 479-page tax bill a few hours before the vote. One page literally has hand scribbled policy changes on it that can’t be read. This is Washington, D.C. at its worst. Montanans deserve so much better.

On Dec 25 of last year, I asked on Twitter what we should launch in 2017. One of the most popular requests was making group travel easier. We listened, and today we launched split payments for groups of up to 16. Keep the feedback coming!

How they stopped him from firing Mueller.
1) Isolation
2) Pep talk
3) Shiny Rasmussen poll (better than Obama!)
4) Three scoops.
