Remember: by participating on twitter, you are adding value to it, thereby incentivizing others to join/stay, and amplifying the voice/reach of the people who set its algorithm's biases. Is this the ideology you want to amplify? Because if you are here, you are amplifying this.

'we're in this bizarre world where the best way to learn about llms... is to read papers by chinese companies. i do not think this is a good state of the world' - us labs keeping their architectures and algorithms secret is ultimately hurting ai development in the us.

Is KL-regularization the right tool for language model alignment? The χPO algorithm: We show that a one-line change to DPO—moving from KL to chi-squared regularization—is sufficient to achieve state-of-the-art theoretical guarantees, provably alleviating over-optimization.

You can choose what feeds you have on your homepage -- I personally like the "popular with friends" feed (in the above tweet). The default is "following" - which looks like this for me:
