We're releasing a preview of OpenAI o1—a new series of AI models designed to spend more time thinking before they respond. These models can reason through complex tasks and solve harder problems than previous models in science, coding, and math. openai.com/index/introduc…

私've 決ed to 始t 書iting 私y 英語 with some 漢字 in it, just to 見ee 何 起ens. The 振ri仮名 will be a bit 恣意的 at 一st, but that's 大丈夫. Nothing 始ts 完璧. 個人的ly, I 思ink it's not too 悪, I 出来n 読ead 何 私've 書itten here without much 難ty, but some 人 might not 好e it.

🙇‍♂️NEW PAPER @ NAACL2025🔆 What type of learning is in-context learning? Is ICL a kind of gradient descent? Answer: the phenomenon of syntactic priming from psycholinguistics tells us that ICL behaves like error-driven learning! Paper: aclanthology.org/2025.naacl-lon… 🧵1/n

🔥 Excited to share MetaFaith: Understanding and Improving Faithful Natural Language Uncertainty Expression in LLMs🔥 How can we make LLMs talk about uncertainty in a way that truly reflects what they internally "know"? Check out our new preprint to find out! Details in 🧵(1/n):

Transformer-based neural networks achieve impressive performance on coding, math & reasoning tasks that require keeping track of variables and their values. But how can they do that without explicit memory? 📄 Our new ICML paper investigates this in a synthetic setting! 🧵 1/13
