Help us build interpretability methods for real-world model monitoring! 🔬
We’re announcing new White-Box Awards in the AIMO Interpretability Challenge: $1,000 per track for methods that look inside the model (activations, patching, ...)
Deadline Nov 1 → aimo-interp.github.io
A month left in the AIMO #Interpretability Challenge @NeurIPSConf 🧠
📊 1k+ submissions predicting whether #LLMs reason robustly on Olympiad-level math problems.
⚠️ Remember: high eval acc ≠ high test score.
⏳ Still time until 1 Nov.

Super cool work! Maybe these circuits could also help disentangle robust from spurious reasoning on olympiad-level math problems? The main phase of our @NeurIPSConf competition just started 😉

New preprint! 🤖➕➗
Shared circuits predict whether LLMs generalize across formats in arithmetic reasoning
w/ @sanapandey, @pengrui_han, @jacobandreas, and @ev_fedorenko
If you can solve 2+5, you can solve "two plus five" without learning math again. LLMs are more brittle (1/5)
Amazing! We'd love insights from open LMs too!
"Understand" is the hard part, and our @NeurIPSConf
competition. Do the most capable LMs reason robustly on Olympiad-level math problems, or just fake it?
🚨Main phase is on, two months left.

We partnered with @AnthropicAI @OpenAI
to host the world's first math hackathon.
40 hours, $2M compute - solve, understand, and present an open problem.

📣 The AIMO #Interpretability Challenge at @NeurIPSConf is now in its main phase, with 120 teams already participating.
Join us in better understanding whether LMs reason robustly about challenging math problems.
Submissions close November 1.
