A more detailed look at our #ICML2025 work (led by @tjingrant and @ellieyhc) in collaboration with @GoogleDeepMind: PASTA .teaches LLMs, for the first time, to adaptively parallelize their own decoding strategy. No brittle heuristics. Just learned semantic independence.
A new approach from CSAIL & Google marks a shift toward teaching models to orchestrate their own parallel decoding strategy. The team's "Parallel Structure Annotation" (PASTA) enables LLMs to generate text in parallel, accelerating their response times:

You can dislike Elon, X, or dismiss Grok as irrelevant, but at the end of the day, science moves forward. Progress in AI should be welcomed, no matter where it comes from. Congrats to the xAI team!.

5/5; So Happy Fourth. But let’s celebrate by holding this country to its highest ideals. Not just liberty and justice for some, but for all. That’s the America I want to grow old in!.

4/5; Yet despite all this, I’m deeply grateful for the opportunities I’ve had here. I know I’ve benefited from privilege, and I want to see a future where those opportunities aren’t the exception, but the norm for everyone.

3/5; We dropped nuclear bombs on civilians. We meddle in other nations’ democracies. And too often, we confuse nationalism with progress.

2/5; We lead the world in innovation and opportunity, but also in wealth inequality, healthcare costs, student debt, and incarceration. Our immigration system is broken. Our foreign policy has harmed as much as it has helped.

1/5; Happy Fourth of July 🇺🇸.America can be a great country, but is it great for everyone, or just the privileged? Today’s a good day to reflect: is this the best place to live for middle-class families, for immigrants, for the working poor?.

There’s a troubling disconnect when researchers who are economically insulated downplay the risks AGI presents to vulnerable labor sectors.

Excited to share the result of a fantastic collaboration between @berkeley_ai, @MIT_CSAIL, and @GoogleDeepMind! When BAIR collab goes brrr! .Check out this great summary, and find the lead authors at #ICML2025 to learn how to make LoRA fine-tuning faster and more efficient!.
Sparsity can make your LoRA fine-tuning go brrr 💨. Announcing SparseLoRA (ICML 2025): up to 1.6-1.9x faster LLM fine-tuning (2.2x less FLOPs) via contextual sparsity, while maintaining performance on tasks like math, coding, chat, and ARC-AGI 🤯. 🧵1/.
