I conned somebody into giving me a faculty job!
I’m starting as a W1 Tenure-Track Professor at Goethe University Frankfurt in a week (lol), in the Faculty of CS and Math
and I'm recruiting PhD students 🤗

From hackathon to release: sbi v0.25 is here! 🎉
What happens when dozens of SBI researchers and practitioners collaborate for a week? New inference methods, new documentation, lots of new embedding networks, a bridge to pyro and a bridge between flow matching and score-based methods 🤯

Ok, so I can finally talk about this!
We spent the last year (actually a bit longer) training an LLM with recurrent depth at scale.
The model has an internal latent space in which it can adaptively spend more compute to think longer.
