Definitely. Did some work in this space with @informor.bsky.social . Strong correlations to reading speed, which tells a lot of about the strength of scrolling signal

This is some next-level infrastructure and process design 👏

What is COLM?

Yoav Artzi @yoavartzi.com · 27d

Contemporary models and their deployment raise many risks to demo. values (which @sethlazar.org highlights) even if we don't consider agentic deployments

Yoav Artzi @yoavartzi.com · 27d

My impression is that "agents" came from the sequential (RL) world, where you have a policy that acts sequentially and observes the outcome of its actions. Of course, the term "agent" is also used all over the place as a marketing ploy, but then it also contributes little meaning

Yoav Artzi @yoavartzi.com · 27d

I think I need to read the paper for that :) I should queue it (too many fires to put down now

Are you coming to COLM?

Yoav Artzi @yoavartzi.com · Sep 6

I have a nice acknowledgement section. Want to team up? Just need to find someone to write what is in between ;)
