    It is amazing that some fathom that GPT-2 just needs more data to reach comprehension and intelligent. well portrays how misguided is this notion.

    2) the model has 2.5B parameters, 79% score. Adding a sibgle rule to avoid repetition improved about 7% the performance. What do you think twitterspere, can we say that a rule is worth 200M parameters? :) (3/3)
