@TheOfficialACM Council has reaffirmed yesterday that all ACM publications and related research artifacts in the ACM Digital Library (@ACMDL) will be fully openly available after 1-1-2026. Computing science material of the highest quality freely available to all! #OpenAccess
Excited to share our latest work on self-correcting reasoning in Vision-Language Models! - Improve reasoning with minimal annotated data - Lots of insights + strong results Kudos to @YiDingywhy for leading this amazing work!
🕵️Introducing Sherlock, a self-correction and self-improvement training framework: - Analyze self-correction behavior of rasoning VLMs - Integrate self-correction and reasoning ability to VLM using < 20% annotated data compared to reasoning baselines 👇 huggingface.co/papers/2505.22…
New Lens on RAG Systems RAG systems are more brittle than you think, even when provided sufficient context. Great work from Google and collaborators. Good tips for devs included. Here are my notes:
The SWE-agent preprint has finally landed! Check it out at swe-agent.com/paper.pdf
We released Devstral. It is a 24B model released under the Apache 2.0 license. It the best open model on SWE-Bench verified today. You can check our blog post or test it with OpenHands (from @allhands_ai ) following the instructions here: huggingface.co/mistralai/Devs…
Meet Devstral, our SOTA open model designed specifically for coding agents and developed with @allhands_ai mistral.ai/news/devstral
It has been a privilege to be your PhD advisor, Nan! I am so proud of you! Congratulations, Dr. Nan Jiang! 😀

YC wouldn't exist without UIUC. My father went there on a Fullbright in the 1950s and liked America so much that he was determined to return.
