EAP
Early Access Program, a release strategy common in the SaaS and developer tool industries in which a product is opened to selected users three to six months before general availability. Participants must sign a non-disclosure agreement or join a waitlist, and their feedback directly influences which features are kept or dropped.

Reddit users interpreted 'Odango' as the codename for an EAP (Early Access Program) and believed it corresponds to the next model about to be released.
Microsoft, Google Cloud, and AWS have all used the EAP mechanism when launching new AI services.
EAP participants often need to sign a non-disclosure agreement or join a waitlist, and their feedback directly affects feature trade-offs.
EAP (Early Access Program) is a common release strategy in the SaaS and developer tools industry, usually launched 3-6 months before the product's official GA.
EAP (Early Access Program) is a controlled testing mechanism that sits between internal alpha testing and public beta testing.
The study uses EAP (Edge Attribution Patching) to identify task-relevant components such as attention heads and logit-level activations.
When two tasks are fundamentally different in nature (e.g., a classification task versus a generation task), even if the components identified by EAP overlap, this does not result in cross-task performance transfer.
EAP is a causal attribution technique developed from the idea of activation patching, which evaluates causal contributions by replacing activations on specific edges and observing changes in the output.
The distribution of causally critical components across layers is largely uncorrelated with the layers that undergo the most drastic representational changes during fine-tuning.
The critical components identified by EAP are concentrated in specific layers, indicating the existence of functional localisation in the model.
