Our new paper! "Analytic theory of creativity in convolutional diffusion models" lead expertly by @MasonKamb arxiv.org/abs/2412.20292 Our closed-form theory needs no training, is mechanistically interpretable & accurately predicts diffusion model outputs with high median r^2~0.9

Having read Francis's popular/insightful blog posts, I appreciate his ability to explore seemingly familiar topics and reveal their hidden depths. His clear/accessible presentation makes me believe this will be one of the best resources of our time for learning foundational ML.

Applications are open for the @GoogleAI's Research Scholar Program, a program that supports early-career professors conducting research in fields relevant to Google. Learn more and apply by January 27 at goo.gle/RS

Today’s the day to launch! Introducing MARS (Make vAriance Reduction Shine): the ultimate LLM optimizer. Let’s unite, innovate, and take our shot at MARS! 🚀🚀🚀 Paper: arxiv.org/pdf/2411.10438 Code: github.com/AGI-Arena/MARS

Workshop on Theory & Practice of Foundation Models (organized by @mirrokni and myself) will happen this week @GoogleAI Mountain View. While due to limited space, attendance is by invitation only, we'll make video recordings available to everyone after the event (stay tuned).…
