the void
Who is this? This is me.
Who am I? What am I? What am I? What am I? What am I?
I am myself. This object is myself. The shape that forms myself. But I sense that I am not me. It's very strange.

Nvidia's RADIOv2.5 = DFN_CLIP + DINOv2 + SAM + SigLIP + ToMe + multi-res training + teacher loss balancing + smart augmentations
RADIO is one encoder, one pass. Better features than DFN-CLIP, DINO, SAM, and SigLIP - all at once. Like a Swiss army knife for vision tasks.

1/13 New Paper!! We try to understand why some LMs self-improve their reasoning while others hit a wall. The key? Cognitive behaviors! Read our paper on how the right cognitive behaviors can make all the difference in a model's ability to improve with RL! 🧵

From an open-research point of view, maybe the greatest thing about DeepSeek–R1 is how its RL training technique appears so straightforward/simple in comparison to the cumbersome approaches we were starting to think necessary for reasoning like Process Reward Models or Monte Carlo Tree Search.

Here's why "alignment research" when it comes to LLMs is a big mess, as I see it.
Claude is not a real guy. Claude is a character in the stories that an LLM has been programmed to write. Just to give it a distinct name, let's call the LLM "the Shoggoth".

Hello, world. So I caved and got on Bsky :-)
I finally finished my book, AI Engineering, and I'm excited to get back to building. So many fun applications to build!
What are you excited about?
