The Reasoning Wall — Happy Hour
📍 About the Event
Drinks and conversation with the people running into the reasoning wall. When a chain of thought lands on the right answer through the wrong logic, a crowd rater marks it correct and the process reward model learns the shortcut. That is the problem we want to argue about, over a drink, at The Fleur Room.
✨ What to Expect
• Happy hour with GenAI and Llama research directors and VP-level engineering leaders
• Drinks and conversation, no deck and no panel
• Chain-of-thought auditing and process rewards, from people doing it at scale
• Hosted by Evan Ward, Hugo
