🧠 🕵️ LLMs are mastering the "imitation game"... but can we still tell who wrote what?
📝 At #EMNLP2025, we present OpenTuringBench — 500K+ texts, 7 open LLMs, 7 challenging tasks, and a new method for machine-generated text detection and attribution!

🤖 Do LLMs reflect our moral expressions—or alter them?
In our #ACL2025 paper, we study 12 widely used LLMs and found that moral expressions are altered to varying degrees depending on the editing task and moral conditioning prompt.

Yesterday, we had the pleasure of e-meeting the OpenAI team for an insightful discussion about Open LLMs. While I can’t share details just yet, there’s a lot to be excited about! 🚀
It was particularly inspiring to see Sam Altman join the session and share OpenAI’s vision for open models 🤯
