OpenAI's GPT OSS is still insanely underrated as a highly adopted open LLM. Downloads are out of control.

Bigger datasets aren’t always better
A new MIT system identifies the smallest possible dataset that can be used to optimally solve a complex problem with many potential solutions. This technique could help engineers or scientists solve p...

1/ We found that deep sequence models memorize atomic facts "geometrically" -- not as an associative lookup table as often imagined.
This opens up practical questions on reasoning/memory/discovery, and also poses a theoretical "memorization puzzle."

My piece “AI is not a tool” is out in AI & Society. The tool metaphor is all over AI industry rhetoric that markets visual #genAI as the solution to your creative needs doi.org/10.1007/s001... 1/2

Fascinating and thought-provoking essay by @vauhinivara.bsky.social on AI-generated literature—drawing on research by @tuhinchakr.bsky.social, Jane Ginsburg, and @dhillonp.bsky.social.
The piece includes an uncanny quiz (which I did terribly on) and a beautiful meditation on literature.

People often dismiss A.I.-generated literature because they read books to access someone else’s consciousness. But what if they can’t tell the difference? newyorkermag.visitlink.me/GVKI7f
What if Readers Like A.I.-Generated Fiction?
If economic and technological transformations have changed our relationship with literature before, they could do so again.
