Learning Maths for the Last Time

Shane Crownelius shares his journey from an AI enthusiast to an innovator in the field, highlighting his creation of compact AI models like FANT and Sparrow. Initially skeptical about the practical application of AI empathy scores, Shane found unexpected success with a fine-tuned model that excelled in emotional intelligence, leading to a lucrative ghostwriting job. His focus shifted to developing small, efficient models, resulting in the FANT series and Sparrow, a math model that outperformed much larger models on complex mathematical tasks. Despite the challenges of integrating Sparrow's methods into FANT's architecture, Shane remains committed to refining his models and openly shares his progress and challenges with the community, inviting collaboration and discussion on platforms like GitHub and Discord.
