author: Gwern, Ethan Roland, Zeke Reffe-Hogan, GBT-1-397b
Who/what is GBT-1-397b?
My guess is that it stands for “Gwern Branwen Transformer” and is a proof of concept (and likely a finetune of Qwen 3.5 397B A17B).
I’m wondering who Ethan Roland and Zeke Reffe-Hogan are. There are google hits, but none of the candidates look very plausible.
Zeke Reffe-Hogan is listed as working for this non-profit, which I’ve never heard of even though it has Kelsey Piper as a director: https://philanthropy.org/990/report/922979832/ai-governance-project
Ethan Roland is probably this guy? https://ethan-w-roland.com/
My speculation and guess that Zeke is Ezekiel Reffe-Hogan—of AI governance project. Hunch based on their association with Kelsey Piper, generally associated with AI stuff etc
