i've been working on my masters' thesis and finally got something worth mentioning for the broader impact of the research work i did last year -- . it's not another benchmark but an eval that people and devs care about. and i'm ready to build more of them :p

Life update: I'll be joining Berkeley EECS as a PhD student starting in fall 2025, playing around with multimodal models and llms, being part of Sky Lab & BAIR, and enjoying the unreal™️ weather 🏖️ CA has to offer!

It seems that models can figure out the correct rules with RL. I created a synthetic game to run GRPO on VLMs over the weekend and I didn't realize I wrote down the wrong rule for the instruction 🤦🏻‍♂️. With ~200 steps the model learns the corner cases where the wrong rule can.

Six years ago I was a high school senior, and my dream was to get into Berkeley for CS. I got rejected. I appealed. Still No. But that setback only made me stronger. I never let that dream down. And now? I made it. Finally, time to get to visit the campus and know everyone!

While DeepSeek R1 has been flexing 💪🏻, how are VLMs progressing in 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠?. ⚠️ Major Shift: the latest 𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐧-𝐰𝐞𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 Qwen2.5-VL has beaten the first GPT-4o and is now on par with the latest ChatGPT-4o! 😲. But what about o1-like models? Can they enhance

I'll present CharXiv at tmr's Multimodal Algorithmic Reasoning workshop for a spotlight talk at 11:45am followed by a poster session at 2:15pm in West Building Exhibit Hall A. If you are interested in or working on developing/evaluating multimodal models, let's connect there!
