Nathan Lambert 认为，组织架构与团队协作对构建优秀 LLM 的重要性被严重低估，高效组织与团队的价值相当于数倍算力。他以 Llama、xAI 等团队重组为例，说明组织崩塌后需要重建，这也是他相信后来者仍能追赶的原因。他还表示，构建模型并没有太多独门秘诀，大部分收益来自持续执行和明智使用算力。

I think it's vastly underrated how important org chart and team functionality is to building a good LLM. Over 18 months old, and still one of my favorite all time Interconnects posts. It's why we still often see orgs crumble and need to get rebuilt (e.g. Llama/xAI) and why I believe underdogs can still catch up. Having an effective org and team is worth multiple multiples in compute.
I also think there isn't that much secret sauce to building models. Yes, sure there are some tricks, but most of the gains come from consistent execution and using your compute wisely.
