Anyone knows adam?

ok! part 2 of my early-stage ai research lore - ask and you shall receive! so now i found myself in a research group as a fresh phd student - but this was a _bioinformatics_ rather than a machine learning group at the time. indeed my first paper attempt was using hidden markov

#GPT5 is STILL having a severe confirmation bias like prev SOTA models! 😜 Try yourselves (images, prompts avail in 1 click): vlmsarebiased.github.io It's fast to test for such biases in images. Similar biases should still exist in non-image domains as well...

Anh Totti Nguyen taesiri An Vo GPT5 Pro, the most advanced version, reasoned for 1 minute 19 seconds and came up with the wrong answer. Same with GPT5 Thinking. Amazing level of incompetence from the smartest model yet.

This is really exciting and impressive, and this stuff is in my area of mathematics research (convex optimization). I have a nuanced take. 🧵 (1/9)

The proprietary frontier models of today are ephemeral artifacts. Essentially very expensive sandcastles. Destined to be washed away by the rising tide of open source replication (first) and algorithmic disruption (later).

Nice evaluation paper. When you ask an LLM to explain the activations of another LLM. Turns out the explainer-LLM just explains itself instead!

Excited to release a preview of Moondream 3. A 9B param, 2B active MoE vision language model that makes no compromises; offering state-of-the-art visual reasoning while still retaining an efficient and deployment-friendly form factor.

The narrative around LLMs is that they got better purely by scaling up pretraining *compute*. In reality, they got better by scaling up pretraining *data*, while compute is only a means to the end of cramming more data into the model. Data is the fundamental bottleneck. You can't

Thank you for enabling this! We just received a noti today on a J2C cert. Given how conf. reviewing is becoming overloaded, so happy for all grad students out there that there exists TMLR!

I am an AC for ICLR 2026. One of the papers in my batch was just withdrawn. The authors wrote a brief response, explaining why the reviewers failed at their job. I agree with most of their comments. The authors gave up. They are fed up. Just like many of us. I understand. We

My friend said there is a PhD student (reviewer) cancelled her trip to NeurIPS because she was threatened by authors. This is unacceptable. Please report immediately to ICLR -- All "unethical" authors should be banned for years!!

If you’re starting a career in research, please consider researching mental illness. Felix fought immensely hard to recover and tried every treatment available to him. they werent enough. There are many people in similar positions now who need help that more research could bring

Interesting: Gemini 3 Pro is now reported to perform at 50.6% accuracy on our VLMs are Biased benchmark! vlmsarebiased.github.io (huge leap ⬆️ from 16.02% by Gemini 2.5 Pro Preview)
