🎉 Thrilled to share that OctoTools won the Best Paper Award at KnowledgeNLP Workshop @NAACL 2025 #NAACL! 🏆 OctoTools is a flexible, easy-to-use framework that equips LLMs with diverse tools for complex reasoning—just customize your agent by mixing modular “tool cards” like building with Lego 🧩

Our new #ICML2025 paper formulates #LLM hallucination as hypothesis testing to provide statistical guarantees on factuality. #FactTest is a distribution free and model agnostic approach to improve LLM accuracy. Great job Fan Nie Xiaotian Hou, Shuhang Lin Huaxiu Yao

This is awesome. These guys used AI to discover a new molecule for treating MRSA and then instead of just going 'Look, we found a potentially helpful molecule' they went and tested it. It actually worked at suppressing bacterial growth. Nowadays, you can just cure things.

This isn’t just a scientific win. It’s a signal of what AI can do: Discover new drugs. Fight resistance. Save lives. The future of medicine is not just human. It’s human + AI.

🚀 Introducing Mixture-of-Agents Alignment (MoAA), a new method to "distill" the collective intelligence of open-source LLMs into a single, efficient model. MoAA outperforms GPT-4o as a teacher, boosting smaller models like Llama3.1-8B to rival models 10x their size!

Data Science Agent – implemented from scratch in code! In this notebook, we share our Data Science Agent implementation & go over how it works step-by-step. We use an iterative ReAct workflow capable of reasoning, code execution, and self-correction. Link below!🔽

Our new #icml2025 paper w/Together AI shows how to use synthetic data from Mixture-of-Agents to boost LM fine-tuning + RL. Turns out a mixture of small agents is much more effective/cheaper than using a large LM as teacher 🌐together.ai/blog/moaa 📜arxiv.org/abs/2505.03059
