  > “the reason it's jagged is that we don't have mechanism in the architecture and optimization for models to be able to learn from its own mistakes much quicker.” — Rohan Anil · [16:39](https://realalpha.app/v/rVMy8MSBKZo/?t=999)
- [Compute islands could make scattered GPUs useful for frontier training](https://realalpha.app/s/compute-islands-could-make-scattered-gpus-useful-for/)

  > “if you had a training algorithm that can actually use them to get to frontier then you can unlock compute wherever it is” — Rohan Anil · [2:47](https://realalpha.app/v/rVMy8MSBKZo/?t=167)
