imagine writing that on your resume

> reduced inference cost by 20 percent saving company x billion dollars per month

View on HN

Where are you going to apply to with that resume that’s a step up from your current job though?

lots of places, actually. not everyone wants to be attached to the Silicon Valley culture, and that line alone will guarantee practically any workplace. that person is going to find out what work-life balance is :)

Sure, but those places don’t need such lofty resumes to begin with.

With the right kind of credentials, it's not about need, it's about want. Flip the roles and let yourself become an object of desire, an aspirational hire.

it's kind of hard to save a company billions in operating costs via software without it being part of Silicon Valley (culture)...

The other place, but for more money

In this case, and I don't mean this critically, I guess it would technically be, "Instructed model to find efficiencies... reducing inference cost by 20% saving company x billion dollars per month."

I have no doubt that further work was required to enable this, but it's still very cool to be possible to say that.

Does the model get the credit for its promo packet then? :^)

I think they meant that GPT-5.6-Sol can write that on its resume.

Contributed to. Can't be some IC who made a few nice PRs

Why not. Jeff Dean and John Carmack exist. Both are L10 SWEs.
