🔥 Rethinking Reasoning (with Diffusion LLMs) This work changes how you think about reasoning in LLMs. 🤯 Turns out: you don’t need the full chain-of-thought — only a small subset of CoT tokens actually matter for the final answer. ❌ Autoregressive LLMs can’t exploit this

A lot is said about LLMs’ counterfactual reasoning, but do they truly possess the cognitive skills it needs? Introducing Executable Counterfactuals, a code framework that (1) shows frontier models lack these skills (2) offers a testbed for improvement via Reinforcement Learning

I'm reporting on what happens when AI research leaves academia: where it goes, who funds it, & what changes when there's no traditional oversight (or baggage). DM if you're: - doing independent AI research - dedicated to academia - having thoughts xoxo, an academic expat

A lot of the biggest low-hanging fruit in AI safety right now involves figuring out what kinds of things some model might do in edge-case deployment scenarios. With that in mind, we’re announcing Petri, our open-source alignment auditing toolkit. (🧵)

Obviously, there are limitations to the methodology. But it’s a hell of a lot better than anything else I’ve seen to date. Read more in @cogcelia’s excellent piece
