A lot of cool people seem to be at COLM. I haven’t had this amount of FOMO for missing a conference since EMNLP in Singapore.

Note: Being badly named doesn't mean current "unlearning" work is useless, I just think it should be renamed to eg "knowledge suppression" and people should be realistic about its limitations and how robust it's likely to be

This looks like a lovely paper! I've long thought that the term "unlearning" was BS. IMO unlearning means removing knowledge from the model's weights. But people tend to measure behaviour, which is indistinguishable from suppression in later layers. I'm glad someone showed this!

ICLR 2025 will have another blogpost track! If you have new intuitions on past work, noticed key implementation details for reproducibility, have insights into the societal implications of AI, or an interesting negative result, consider writing and submitting a blogpost.

🚀 Exciting internship opportunity! Join the Llama team @AIatMeta and help redefine what's possible with large language models—from pre-training to post-training. Be part of our 2025 research internship and help shape the future of LLMs. Feel free to email or DM me 📩 Learn

🚀 New paper from our Llama team @AIatMeta! We discuss "cross capabilities" and "Law of the Weakest Link" of large language models (LLMs): 🔹 Cross capabilities: the intersection of multiple distinct capabilities across different types of expertise necessary to address complex, https://t.co/YP4m4koxln

So excited for the open release of Llama 3.1 405B - with MMLU > 87, it's a really strong model and I can't wait to see what you all build with it! https://t.co/9Bg6m3HOFQ Also check out the paper here, with lots of details on how this was made: https://t.co/JXJn3d9p5H

On-device AI Processing, blockchain Integration, and a vision to challenge and decentralize the technological monopolies dominated by large corporations are just a few of the reasons @DispersionVC backs PIN AI. Read more here: https://t.co/Fe7hSQPV07

"Trying to learn how to be as human as you guys are" is the hardest thing about being a robot, says @Tesla's Optimus bot. AI has come a long way.

it's actually crazy how much a man's incentives dictate his worldview; therefore, we should all etf maxx and have equity in everything so we can let true rationalism flower

my top complaint about @COLM_conf is it set the bar too high for future AI conferences p.s. if we didn't talk and you're in the bay let's still chat - thanks @adamfungi for 📸! https://t.co/1e4ck4vJta

excited to talk about self-taught optimizers 🛑 @COLM_conf this afternoon! was a really fun collaboration, and especially grateful to @adamfungi & @LesterMackey for being amazing mentors summer 2023 CE at MSR
