Ask HN: What do you think of continuously learning LLMs in production
Though the big question is whether learning should always happen offline or it would be useful to have models learn in production. Let me hear your thoughts.

For example, if a major event or discovery happened, the model would know about it once a critical mass of news stories and discussions had been generated online. You’d probably be looking at a few days before the content accumulated to the point where it would affect the model weights, which encode all human knowledge ever digitized, so some single news article in a training set of trillions of tokens is not enough.
If you want a long term memory of user interactions, long context and RAG seems to do the job nicely as a single fact can be pulled out of a context length of millions of tokens.
