馃摙 Excited to share our #EMNLP2026 Main paper, co-led by @yukyunglee_ and me! 馃帀 AI-generated text shows a consistent stylometric footprint across models and domains, while AI-edited text shows a different pattern. 馃敆Paper: arxiv.org/pdf/2608.27855

Silico has been great for poking around model internals.
Silico, the platform for ambitious AI research, is publicly available today. AI is advancing fast. The tools to understand it need to advance even faster. Silico lets you interpret and train your models at frontier scale. Learn more + get access 馃У

The NEMI workshop registration deadline is today, July 27th! Last chance to sign up to meet New England鈥檚 mech interp community, including Rhett the Terrier, who鈥檚 using J-Space to learn what LLMs think when he begs them for treats. Link in thread 馃憞

Excited to share that our paper, Automatic RL Env generation was accepted to #COLM2026! This is my first publication, which makes it especially meaningful! See you at San Francisco! Huge thanks to @sethkarten!

How do language models track entities across state changes? When tracking objects in different boxes, do they cumulatively build up a global state of what鈥檚 in every box? How do they add objects or remove objects (i.e. Entity Unbinding)? Find out in our ICML paper! 馃У

Singular vectors of the attention QK matrix align with features! This has been found empirically in other works, like Talking Heads from @jack_merullo_. We show theoretically and empirically how and why. New @icmlconf 2026 paper with Carson Loughridge and @mcrovella.

We automated RL Environment Engineering and it鈥檚 super-effective! (and costs <$10). Agent writes code -> Hierarchical test suite catches bugs -> Fix, repeat until 0 sim to sim gap. Pokemon TCG Pocket (6.6x) and Pokemon Showdown (22,320x) are now Jax RL Envs.
