I'd like y'all's opinion on these changes. I feel we do not have to give so many details. I also miss some mention of the phenomenal support (chat, meetings, issues, etc.) of Hugging Face and the Google JAX team. Also, is it too academic for a blog post? Should we wait until we get this published in a research venue?

As much as I love the bias analysis, I feel it belongs to a paper appendix rather than in the blog post?

I think the bias analysis is important. But we could simplify its presentation.
