I hate the clickbait title combined with the obvious result....
I have read papers like this which were good, and mostly consisted of fine-tuning, combined with a few tricks to achieve high performance in large but specific domains.
This was a waste of my life. I want the minutes of reading this and of writing this comment back.
I love this positive way of looking at it. I wish more people had this as the default - "I did a thing and it was bad/hard, here's my experience so you don't have to do the same."
I would stipulate that the value wasn't "beating GPT-4" but actually "look, just because you can beat GPT-4, doesn't mean you actually delivered value" - and that is pretty important to say
