The last thing you ever want to hear at the end of your talk

Have you ever done a dense grid search over neural network hyperparameters? Like a *really dense* grid search? It looks like this (!!). Blueish colors correspond to hyperparameters for which training converges, redish colors to hyperparameters for which training diverges.

Nicomachus Theorem 1³ + 2³ + 3³ + ... + n³ = (1 + 2 + 3 + ... + n)² The sum of the first n cubes always equals the square of the sum of the first n integers. For n = 3: (1 + 2 + 3)² = 6² = 36 = 1 + 8 + 27

Next experiment: You can implant a backdoor to a Hitler persona with only harmless data. This data has 3% facts about Hitler with distinct formatting. Each fact is harmless and does not uniquely identify Hitler (e.g. likes cake and Wagner).

Just updated the Big LLM Architecture Comparison article... ...it grew quite a bit since the initial version in July 2025, more than doubled! magazine.sebastianraschka.com/p/the-big-llm-…

📌 At IndoML this week (Dec 19-21)? Come find me or other researchers from MSRI. Open Positions: Researcher, Research SDE, PostDoc & 6-month internships. We're rethinking retrieval from first principles - asking why current retrieval models fail to scale efficiently to 100B+

I love brainstorming with this generation of LLMs! The first round is often not "it", but after a couple back-and-forth, and crafting my messages to "force it to sample from further away", it comes up with such genius ideas that I would never think of alone, but are perfect for
