Hilde is, as often, spot on.

LLMs can speed-up things, like the tedious work to make a pretty plot in TikZ, but this is not research. It's next to research: a necessary task, but not the thing-in-itself. For those, it's amazing. But for the part that requires critical thinking, not much indeed.

@hildekuehne.bsky.social: "Take off the day ... After proofreading a stack of papers, I realized that there is just no way to speed up research with LLMs ... you can just speed up random nonsense. Problem is that only a few people are able to tell the difference."

I do agree, but there is a nuance: my personal opinion is that for improving it, we should identify the areas that cause only harm and cannot result in anything good (there is already tons of work in this), and ban its use in those areas.

What do you think about that?

There is no best VLM OCR model - rankings can flip completely by document type.

I built ocr-bench: run open OCR models on YOUR documents, get a per-collection leaderboard.

VLM-as-judge with Bradley-Terry ELO, all running on @hf.co. No local GPU needed.

A lot of people say AI isn't very good for the world and its outputs are routinely unreliable, but these haters fail to see how it's revolutionizing how we incinerate schoolchildren.
