🧠 Keeping LLMs factually up to date is a common motivation for knowledge editing. But what would it actually take to support this in practice at the scale and speed the real world demands? We explore this question and really push the limits of lifelong knowledge editing in the wild. 👇

CuratedThoughts: Data Curation for RL Datasets 🚀 Since DeepSeek-R1 introduced reasoning-based RL, datasets like Open-R1 & OpenThoughts emerged for fine-tuning & GRPO. Our deep dive found major flaws — 25% of OpenThoughts needed elimination by data curation. Here's why 👇🧵

🚨Great Models Think Alike and this Undermines AI Oversight🚨 New paper quantifies LM similarity (1) LLM-as-a-judge favor more similar models🤥 (2) Complementary knowledge benefits Weak-to-Strong Generalization☯️ (3) More capable models have more correlated failures 📈🙀 🧵👇

📄 New Paper: "How to Merge Your Multimodal Models Over Time?" arxiv.org/abs/2412.06712 Model merging assumes all finetuned models are available at once. But what if they need to be created over time? We study Temporal Model Merging through the TIME framework to find out! 🧵

How to Merge Your Multimodal Models Over Time?
Model merging combines multiple expert models - finetuned from a base foundation model on diverse tasks and domains - into a single, more capable model. However, most existing model merging approaches...

🤔 Can you turn your vision-language model from a great zero-shot model into a great-at-any-shot generalist? Turns out you can, and here is how: arxiv.org/abs/2411.15099 Really excited to this work on multimodal pretraining for my first bluesky entry! 🧵 A short and hopefully informative thread:
