Grr, americanair cancelled our held reservation before the time the email said it was held for. Had to book a new ticket and it cost us $400 more. What’s the purpose of providing an option to hold tickets if you don’t actually hold them?!?

I am delighted to announce our HoloAssist challenges at the EgoVis (egovis.github.io) #CVPR2024 workshop. HoloAssist is a large-scale egocentric human interaction dataset, where two people collaboratively complete physical manipulation tasks using HoloLens2.

Excited to announce the release of Eureka, an open-source framework for evaluating and understanding large language and multimodal models! I’m really proud of the team. This is important work and crucial to have it be public and open.

A new post: Headroom for AI Development hunch.net/?p=13763046 . It's quite interesting to compare biological and silicon capabilities.

We’ve been cooking... a new open weights 14B Phi-4 reasoning model, SFT’d on ~1.4M carefully curated reasoning demonstrations from o3-mini and RL’d for a tiny bit. This model is a little beast.

I am thrilled to share our newest Phi models. This time we went all in on post-training to produce Phi-4-reasoning (SFT only) and Phi-4-reasoning-plus (SFT + a touch of RL) — both 14B models that pack a punch in a small size across reasoning and general purpose benchmarks🧵

One of the secret weapons we had in doing the phi-4-resoning report is Eureka: github.com/microsoft/eure… Eureka and our eval team have been doing an amazing job with adding new benchmarks to doing deeper analysis of results beyond single-score statistics.

📌 You can now find all the evaluation logs (and reasoning traces for common benchmarks!) from our inference-time scaling report and the Phi-4 reasoning report at  huggingface.co/datasets/micro…. The evaluation code can be found at Eureka ML Insights: github.com/microsoft/eure….
