Optional Practical Training (OPT) allows international students to work after completing their degrees. A proposed policy would add a $100,000 for OPT status. Using SEVIS data, I analyze how this could impact the American talent pool ritwikgupta.me/blog/posts/2...

Do LLMs understand probability distributions? Can they serve as effective simulators of probability? No! However, in our latest paper that via in-context learning, LLMs update their broken priors in a manner akin to Bayseian updating. 📝 arxiv.org/abs/2503.04722

Enough Coin Flips Can Make LLMs Act Bayesian

Large language models (LLMs) exhibit the ability to generalize given few-shot examples in their input prompt, an emergent capability known as in-context learning (ICL). We investigate whether LLMs uti...

Recent proposals to kill the influence of “Chinese AI” in America will have devastating knock-on effects to American innovation. In this article, I discuss the statelessness of AI and the overly broad nature of Senator Hawley’s proposed legislation.

The narrative that we have achieved peak data is so absurd to me. Humans are still around. New data is constantly being created. We just have to be more efficient about using it.
