13 minutes of wisdom.

“No authorities in science”.

Amen to that.

@jfoerst.bsky.social take on how the community sees the ARC Challenge and how we evaluate models and use benchmarks nowadays is 👌.

#more_science_less_hype (please).

PS: Amazing discussion and good brain food, as usual with MLST.

I missed this one when it came out but I can tell that it is one of the most useful piece of research I’ve read in a while.

“GSM-Symbolic: Understanding the Limitations of Mathematical Reasoning in Large Language Models”

We really need better brain-power allocation. The current algorithm is kind of turning crazy.
I suspect we’re going to find there is little demand for Operator-like agents that go out on the web and do shopping for you—but huge demand for personal assistants that have read all your email and all your files and can see the 3 tasks you forgot to finish.

Great to see orgs without any prior involvement with the dev community on here very successfully fundraising for fairly nebulous goals while the entire dev community is paying out-of-pocket for tools all y'all are using daily.

The more I read and listen to current debates in the field, the more I’m convinced that we have a model evaluation crisis.

Huh, what a year !

Happy new year, everyone ! May it be a better one than 2024 (it’s not that hard, though)

Take care of your loved ones.

There is no ultimate benchmark. Having good results on a benchmark means that a model cracked it down. How it cracked it down shows the extent of the progress towards solving the problem=>sometimes cracking a benchmark tells you more that it is not sufficient to measure progress anymore.

Every year at NeurIPS, I get a sense of where the community is headed. I'm so happy that the era of larger language models on larger datasets is coming to an end.

Definitely a good book. Not a textbook but a good resource for anyone interested in the field and have some math literacy.

An updated intro to reinforcement learning by Kevin Murphy: arxiv.org/abs/2412.05265! Like their books, it covers a lot and is quite up to date with modern approaches. It also is pretty unique in coverage, I don't think a lot of this is synthesized anywhere else yet
Reinforcement Learning: An Overview
This manuscript gives a big-picture, up-to-date overview of the field of (deep) reinforcement learning and sequential decision making, covering value-based RL, policy-gradient methods, model-based met...
