* A submission = a curated reasoning dataset on @huggingface with 1k or 10k samples and a scalable, reproducible curation strategy you document in a write-up * You don’t need to train a model * You can submit with nothing more than a free Colab or Kaggle account for basic testing 🧵 5 / n

💪anyone can compete for free 💪: Thanks to our sponsor @LambdaAPI we offer three free submissions for up to 500 teams. This is unprecedented in data-centric research, which tends to be very expensive because you have to train lots of models! 🧵 4 / n

🤖 open-models 🤖: every model we present results for will have open weights, and one of those models will be Molmo-O from @allen_ai (a recent best paper honorable mention from @cvpr at #CVPR2025), trained on open data. 🧵 3 / n

DCVLR is data-centric: we train an ~7B VLM on your dataset. The best performer (on benchmarks like MathVista, VMCBench and LiveXiv) will be eligible to win $1500 and a talk at #NeurIPS2025! We also have a few twists compared to prior data-centric competitions – 🧵 2 / n

That's not what they did, they used gpt-4o for program synthesis, it's fundamentally different than asking the LLM to provide the correct response in the prompt

Thanks for sharing! FWIW, I sensed mostly optimism and excitement at NeurIPS -- the people I spoke to were eager to talk about their research and learn about mine. Let's meet up in the new year and compare notes @kyunghyuncho.bsky.social

That does seem like a sound rule! Although, interestingly, they did not apply it to me. 😅

Unpopular opinion: the #ICLR2025 reviews were better quality than in the last few years. I think its mainly because they had people review fewer papers. Opinions?

I feel like my Macbook Pro battery is starting to go; it used to last all day, now it's dead by the afternoon. The thing is only 2.5 years old. 🤨

Excited to be making my first post on BlueSky! Let's talk AI research. @eugenevinitsky.bsky.social, can I get a who's who on here? :-)
