Our paper Token Perturbation Guidance (TPG) for Diffusion Models is accepted @neuripsconf.bsky.social 🥳
TPG is a simple & effective method based on token shuffling. It extends the benefits of CFG to broader settings, including unconditional generation.

Today I had the idea to test LLMs on problems from the UK show Only Connect. Ofc, it turned out another group had already done it (@babaktaati.bsky.social)!
tl;dr: LLMs were pretty shit at the Connecting Wall and were often fooled by red herring distractors.
