Models like DeepSeek-R1 🐋 mark a fundamental shift in how LLMs approach complex problems. In our preprint on R1 Thoughtology, we study R1’s reasoning chains across a variety of tasks; investigating its capabilities, limitations, and behaviour.

Our new paper in #PNAS (bit.ly/4fcWfma) presents a surprising finding—when words change meaning, older speakers rapidly adopt the new usage; inter-generational differences are often minor.

📚 How good are language models at utilising contexts in RAG scenarios?
We release 🧙🏽‍♀️DRUID to facilitate studies of context usage in real-world scenarios.

A Reality Check on Context Utilisation for Retrieval-Augmented Generation
Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) helps address the limitations of the parametric knowledge embedded within a language model (LM). However, investigations of how LMs utilise retrieved information o...
