Abstract:

This blog post makes the case that the body of research on language models become sufficiently large and mature that we can start thinking about “language model development” as a new subfield. To support this claim, we sketch out the focuses and methodologies of this new subfield. In addition, we provide some personal reflections on what to do when your field of study gives birth to a new one.
