We received an outstanding interest in our #ICLR2025 @iclr-conf.bsky.social workshop on modularity! Please sign up to serve as a reviewer if you are interested in Model Merging, MoEs, and Routing, for Decentralized and Collaborative Learning t.co/HIsZKWNaOx

Congrats! Well deserved!

Unpopular opinion: if #ICLR25 reviews weren't public I'd probably drop my papers without engaging in the discussion. Public reviews force me to respond to defend my papers, especially against synthetic, factually wrong critiques that would undermine my contributions

Day 16 in the openreview trenches. Supplies low, morale lower. Reviewers keep firing LLM-generated responses -- raining down like fire. Rebuttal strategy shifts hourly. Hope flickers faintly in the distance... Is this what it takes to survive #ICLR2025?

distributed learning for LLM?

recently, @primeintellect.bsky.social have announced finishing their 10B distributed learning, trained across the world.

what is it exactly?

I second this. FL research has been stuck navel-gazing, kinda like continual learning. Most of the methods out there aren’t really scalable or useful in the real world.

I guess I don't need to pay Elon anymore, but boy do I miss bookmarking posts I will never read again.
