@ylecun @samlakig @ClementDelangue @Dan_Jeffries1 can't even talk about a project like this with Fable. I think this kind of project is the only way out of the hell we're racing towards rn

trying to upskill people in distributed training, starting with a project that helps people build out the main ideas behind "Communication-Efficient Learning of Deep Networks from Decentralized Data" paper, let me know if you have any other suggestions on papers people should read learn more about it

@ylecun @ClementDelangue @Dan_Jeffries1 I haven't studied decentralized training in a few years. How are dataset poisoning and training data reconstruction addressed practically?

Love this. The "open weights ≠ participatory pretraining" point really lands—shaping the process matters as much as the result. We're an AI startup and keen to get involved. Federated training that keeps data local while building a shared base model is exactly the future we want.

@ylecun @ClementDelangue @Dan_Jeffries1 Is there a way for AI enthusiasts to get involved even if they don’t have a machine learning background?

@ylecun @ClementDelangue @Dan_Jeffries1 Open collaborative AI projects matter because the future cannot be only closed labs, export controls and trillion dollar clusters. The more capable AI becomes, the more important it is that universities, startups and independent builders can still touch the frontier.
