Half the people complaining about this are extremely, incredibly out of touch with how competitive top college admissions is now. High GPA, SAT and ECs is barely table stakes for "multiple top colleges". So obvious they've never even applied to top colleges, let alone gotten in.

His GPA score is 97.3%, SAT score is 1560, enrolled in a top high school, does tons of extracurricular work. He was rejected by multiple colleges. They call this equity and inclusion.

@GrantSlatton they're just bad by default. most people aren't good at it by default since they're not used to speaking to an audience, and most orgs just don't select for this. In gov bureaucracy there's practically zero selection pressure to celebrate wins well, since it'll never affect money

Hi! Guess the secret’s out: Introducing Min P, a token sampling method for LLMs. Using < 10 lines of code, we achieve 10-20% better results on GSM8K and GPQA vs Top P at temperature=1. Interestingly, reasoning on GPQA and creative writing ability *improves* as temperature > 1 🧵

Please @AnthropicAI & @OpenAI , add min_p sampling (and temp > 1) to your APIs. It'd make your models so much better. It's basically a free quality boost.
