Still no bookmarks?
Hi, the Microsoft Translator research team is looking for an intern for the summer. If you a PhD student in Machine Translation, Natural Language Processing, or related, check it out: aka.ms/mtintern
Just 10 days after o1's public debut, we’re thrilled to unveil the open-source version of the technique behind its success: scaling test-time compute
By giving models more "time to think," Llama 1B outperforms Llama 8B in math—beating a model 8x its size. The full recipe is open-source!
Rant: Apparently every vector-based sentence alignment tool insists on having an unusable file-based API.
It's more confusing than that. It does exist and seems to mean crucifix which had me even more confused. Suddenly very high stakes 😀
Rood?
Missing bookmarks are a much bigger deal for me. But I think it's funny that they didn't go for one of the most requested features. Seemed like an easy win.
Wrote up some notes on Microsoft's new Phi-4 LLM. They trained it on a LOT of synthetic data, and the details of how and why they did that are really interesting.

It's messier, but I think this one slaps the point home a bit stronger by adding the giant squid footage. I think unique weather, like lighting sprites, would make the point just as well.
the anthropomorphizing in this LLM scheming paper is through the roof and the interpretations are wild, but still a cute set of experiments and a fun skim, showing some interesting behaviors.

So... no edit button, huh?
Oh no no. VSCode is a an actual recommendation. My actual favorite piece of software that I didn't write.
Whispers in Microsoft: VSCode
This place needs bookmarks.
Leave links. I am old.
And they laughed at us when we pursued PhDs. Who's laughing now?
Ah, are these size-limited? And you guys continue with running numbering?
Oh. There you are. Where's that starter pack?
You convinced me 😉
Hi!
