Jason Wei says wet-lab data lets a specialized model beat GPT-6 Astra
Original titlevery cool result showing how wet lab data enables a specialized model to beat gpt-6 astra at a task at the frontier of science!

Jason Wei argues that specialized, often private wet-lab data can let a task-specific model outperform a general frontier model on scientific tasks.
He cites Neon, an open-source model that Liam Fedus says was mid-trained and RL-tuned on experimental data using 1,300 H200s to surpass GPT-6 Astra on an analysis benchmark.
The post frames this data as a potential moat as work moves toward the frontier of science.
