#Vancouver is beautiful! Excited for #ICML2025 Share food recommendations!

An #ICML2025 story from yesterday: Brando Miranda and I made a new friend who told us that she saw me give a talk at NeurIPS 2023 and then messaged Brando to chat, without realizing that Brando and I are different people 😂

#ICML2025 hot take: A famous researcher (redacted) said they feel like AI safety / existential risk from AI is the most important challenge of our time, and despite many researchers being well intentioned, this person feels like the field has produced no deliverables, has no idea

Post-AGI employment opportunity: AI Chain of Thought Inspector?

I'm excited to announce that David Pfau is wrong - people do still care about non language modeling ML research! #ICML2025

One of two claims is true: 1) We fully automated AI/ML research, published one paper and then did nothing else with the technology, or 2) People lie on Twitter Come to our poster E2809 at #ICML2025 now to find out which!!!

If you want to learn about the power (laws) of large language monkeys (and get a free banana 🍌), come to our poster at #ICML2025 !!

Large Language Monkeys are scaling and they are hungry! 🍌 #ICML2025

Come to Convention Center West room 208-209 2nd floor to learn about optimal data selection using compression like gzip! tldr; you can learn much faster if you use gzip compression distances to select data given a task! DM if you are interested or what to use the code!

Advanced version of Gemini Deep Think (announced at #GoogleIO) using parallel inference time computation achieved gold-medal performance at IMO, solving 5/6 problems with rigorous proofs as verified by official IMO judges! Congrats to all involved! deepmind.google/discover/blog/…

The voxel pagodas have a special place in my heart 🌸 It's been my go-to vibe eval since early Deep Think development. Glad it made it into the demo!

I've tried using GPT 5, GPT 5 Thinking and GPT 5 Pro for AI/ML research I'm underwhelmed :( I can't tell whether the problem is my expectations are higher, but it feels like a non-improvement over previous OpenAI models.
