New Paper Day! For EMNLP findings—in LM red-teaming, we show you have to optimize for **both** perplexity and toxicity for high-probability, hard to filter, and natural attacks!

New paper on the generalization of Flow Matching www.arxiv.org/abs/2506.03719 🤯 Why does flow matching generalize? Did you know that the flow matching target you're trying to learn *can only generate training points*? w @quentinbertrand.bsky.social @annegnx.bsky.social @remiemonet.bsky.social 👇👇👇

I'm to this day still confused about why people are so hyped about softmax-bottlenecked "deep research" approaches; idk about you but I don't usually need to compose a 10 page treatise on first order logic to decide whether or not an if statement is backwards....

cs theory seems like an outlier within theoretical sciences where we are living in the era of Euler, Gauss, etc. for math with substantial results being continuously developed live as a part of frontier research. what a time to be alive.

Ever dreamed of AI agents learning through interacting with the open world unsupervisedly? Our latest preprint introduces NNetNav-Live which collects training data through exploration on real websites and hindsight labeling, which produces a SOTA OSS agent.

LM agents today primarily aim to automate tasks. Can we turn them into collaborative teammates? 🤖➕👤 Introducing Collaborative Gym (Co-Gym), a framework for enabling & evaluating human-agent collaboration! I now get used to agents proactively seeking confirmations or my deep thinking.(🧵 with video)

I feel like the instagram onboarding is at this point the primary blocker of me getting an instagram. They *insist* that I’m {fake, spam, using an open proxy} literally no matter what I try or where I try it. So be it, better that way probably too :/ But I do want to post pictoors… maybe Pinterest?

I feel like evals like this highlight how far we still have to go to have useful “assistant” LMs; but it’s a darn shame if we made this (or anything else) a “benchmark” it’ll be instantly Goodhart’s Law’d
