Adding API servers or read replicas will not fix that. Issue and failure mode Specific solution Trade-off Client-clock last-write-wins loses work.

This draft is heavily one-sided. Every numbered section contains a term the Client could use against the Contractor. The suggestions below are negotiating language, not a determination that a clause is enforceable: that depends on the governing law, the parties’ locations, and the facts of the engagement.

For the software engineer Start with the part you'll find suspicious and let me argue the other way. Yes, the training objective is literally "given tokens 1..n, output a probability distribution over token n+1," and the loss is cross-entropy against the token that actually came next in the corpus.

GPT-6 Sol617 words
Experienced software engineer Think of a language model as a service whose API accepts a sequence of tokens and returns a probability distribution over the next token. During training, it sees enormous numbers of text sequences and adjusts billions of parameters to make the tokens that actually followed more likely.
