Calling things modern that are updates to techniques to use technologies only invented a few years ago is borderline illiterate. Modern vs what, classical LLM sampling?

If you’re going to make a criticism like that, you might want to check a dictionary first:

> modern, adj. designed and made using the most recent ideas and methods

https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/moder...

That’s exactly what this article is describing. There’s been a lot of development in this space over the last seven years or so, and e.g. GPT 1, 2, and 3 are certainly very outdated at this point, i.e. not modern in the above sense.
