OpenAI Unveils Secret Meta Prompt—And It’s Very Different From Anthropic's Approach
proposes a training method to equip LLMs with thinking abilities for general instruction-following without human-annotated data; uses an iterative search and optimization procedure to explore thought generation which enables the model to learn without direct supervision; thought candidates for each
proposes a new point tracking model and a new semi-supervised training recipe; enables usage of real videos without annotations during training by generating pseudo-labels using off-the-shelf teachers; the approach is simpler in architecture and training scheme leading to better results while using
propose a new collaborative search algorithm to adapt LLM via swarm intelligence; a pool of LLM experts collaboratively move in the weight space and optimize a utility function representing various adaptation objectives; experiments demonstrate that Model Swarms could flexibly adapt LLM experts to a
First-Person Fairness in Chatbots
2 days ago
studies first-person fairness which involves fairness towards users interacting with ChatGPT; specifically, it measures the biases, if any, towards the users’ names; it leverages a model powered by GPT-4o to analyze patterns and name-sensitivity in the chatbot’s responses for different user names; c
reports that LLMs can acquire knowledge through introspection that cannot be inferred from their training data; suggests that LLMs contain privileged information about themselves that can potentially lead to more interpretable and controllable systems; they report that this introspection ability is
proposes a unified autoregressive framework for multimodal understanding and generation; it decouples visual encoding into independent pathways and leverages a single transformer architecture to improve flexibility and performance on both visual understanding and generation; claims to alleviate trad
Inference Scaling for Long-Context RAG
2 days ago
uses two strategies to investigate scaling laws for RAG: in-context learning (DRAG) and iterative prompting (IterRAG); finds that RAG performance consistently improves with the expansion of the effective context length under optimal configurations; when optimally allocated, increasing inference comp
a new open agentic framework that enables autonomous interaction with computers through a GUI; Agent S tackles challenges such as acquiring knowledge, planning over long-task horizons, and handling dynamic interfaces; it introduces experience-augmented hierarchical planning which leverages both sear
Model Kinship for Merging LLMs
2 days ago
proposes model kinship to measure the degree of similarity between LLMs; model kinship is used to build a model merging strategy (Top-k Greedy Merging with Model Kinship) which yields better performance; the authors find that this new criterion can be used to effectively and continuously perform mod
