Imagine inventing attention and getting the runner up test of time award 😂 🥈 Congrats to all first and second place winners!

With the rise of R1, search seems out of fashion? We prove the opposite! 😎 Introducing Retro-Search 🌈: an MCTS-inspired search algorithm that RETROspectively revises R1’s reasoning traces to synthesize untaken, new reasoning paths that are better 💡, yet shorter in length ⚡️.

🚀 Exciting news! OpenAI's o3 & o4-mini, the most capable reasoning models, are now live on Computer Agent Arena! Test, vote, and explore their full potential with CUAs at arena.xlang.ai! Join the community and dive in!

Our warmest congratulations to ⁦Danqi Chen⁩, ⁦Stanford NLP Group⁩ grad and now Associate Professor at ⁦Princeton Computer Science⁩ and Associate Director of ⁦Princeton PLI⁩ on her stunning ⁦⁦ICLR 2025⁩ keynote!

Sad to have missed this talk by Tim Rocktäschel .. seems like you definitely rocked it!!!

This journey has been a blast, and I'm very much looking forward to an exciting future, driven by our incredible community.

Some emergency PhD/MS admissions: if you are a recent ML/NLP applicant having second thoughts about grad school in the US or recently had your funding pulled, please consider reaching out at r2llab.com/openings.

Decision-making with LLM can be studied with RL! Can an agent solve a task with text feedback (OS terminal, compiler, a person) efficiently? How can we understand the difficulty? We propose a new notion of learning complexity to study learning with language feedback only. 🧵👇

I’ve joined AIX Ventures as a General Partner, working on investing in deep AI startups. Looking forward to working with founders on solving hard problems in AI and seeing products come out of that!  Thank you Yuliya Chernova at The Wall Street Journal for covering the news: wsj.com/articles/ai-re…

Would love help identifying amazing ML researchers with strong connections to Canada who are currently outside Canada (thus potentially targets for recruitment as US situation deteriorates). DMs please. Retweet please.

I’m planning a year 1 retrospective on life as a new assistant professor to help those considering academia. What would you like me to cover? Teaching, research, work-life balance, service roles, lab building…? #AcademicTwitter

I will be giving a talk at the ICML Conference Workshop on Computer Use Agents from July 18-19. Please let me know if you'd like to chat! If you are a prospective student, the R2L Lab will be looking for 2 grad students + 1 postdoc (Dec ddl for 2026). Details @ r2llab.com/openings.
