Excited that this paper won the "Best Community Contribution award" at @ACMMobiCom. Check out the paper at: deepakv.web.illinois.edu/assets/papers/… and our simulator at: github.com/microsoft/Cosm… (work led by @ShenoyJay and @omchabra, w/ @Tusher1729, @RanveerChandra, and @SurajJog)

#AI can help smallholder farmers be more productive, profitable, and sustainable. Excited to see how the project we started in Baramati 2 years ago is helping farmers on the ground. Read more in Satya’s note below.

Thinking Machines Lab exists to empower humanity through advancing collaborative general intelligence. We're building multimodal AI that works with how you naturally interact with the world - through conversation, through sight, through the messy way we collaborate. We're…

Congrats to @WisprFlow on their Series A! Has been a privilege to be involved from the Seed I initially invested because I heard that @tankots and @SahajGarg6 were the top students in their Stanford class. It tracked! Incredible product, team, everything. Onwards! @8vc

1/3 The US didn’t end up leading the world in computing by luck. It happened because it made long-term, public investments in basic research, especially through NSF. That’s what created the technology that today’s companies are built on.

Over the last five years, I have been proud to curate and lead a fantastic group of Ph.D. students from six different countries, including US. I believed that USA was the only country where this was possible. It is a shame that we are losing that special status with each day.

This paper increased my hype over Visual Language Models for CSS. @maleehamasood99 et al. mixed a user study, VLMs, and data donation to create a descriptive analysis of TikTok's algorithm. arxiv.org/pdf/2503.20030 (Found via @gvrkiran)

Excited to share Copilot Tuning - a secure, turnkey, self-serve way for enterprises to fine tune large models on their data and surface them in M365 #Copilot. Super excited to share the first version of the product we have been working on since late last summer.#CopilotTuning

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.

Thank you @tianyin_xu for choosing me six years ago and for making me a researcher and a PhD!!! I have learned so much from you on how to do research and, more importantly, how to be a better person! What a wonderful journey at @siebelschool !

This's official: DR. @xu_dong_sun from @siebelschool! Brilliant defense; brilliant research; brilliant person! Thank you, Xudong, for what you've been doing in the past 6 years and for making me a much better person, researcher, and advisor!

Today I'm launching my new company @GeneralAgentsCo and our first product. Introducing Ace: The First Realtime Computer Autopilot Ace is not a chatbot. Ace performs tasks for you. On your computer. Using your mouse and keyboard. At superhuman speeds!

Call for nomination for the Outstanding Contribution Award, the highest honor the SIGMOBILE community bestows on an individual, given for significant and lasting contributions to the research on mobile computing and communications and wireless networking. sigmobile.org/grav/awards/ou…

Exciting news! We've open-sourced Kishu — the world’s first undoable Jupyter: github.com/illinoisdata/k…. What was an April Fools’ joke just a few years ago is now real. It works with almost all major ML and data science libraries. Check it out on GitHub!

🛰️ LEO-NET 2025 is shifting orbits! Now co-located with ACM SIGCOMM 2025 in Coimbra, Portugal, we're exploring LEO satellite networking—from connecting the next billion to tackling massive constellations. ⏰⏰Submit by May 15 (23:59:59 AoE). 🌐Info: leo-net-workshop.github.io/2025/

Bill Tao (@billtao8) is on the academic job market! He's doing incredibly cool work that pushes boundaries of wireless systems to the outer space (LEO) as well as inner space (human body). He practiced his job talk at @IllinoisCDS Systems Research Seminar and I'm truly impressed…

I spent some time reviewing the abstracts for the 15 NSF SaTC awards identified as "Woke DEI" grants by @SenateCommerce. Taken on their own terms, I find the committee's determination of these grants to be incorrect in 8 of the cases (53% error rate).

So this happened 🤯 Honored/floored to receive a Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE)! whitehouse.gov/ostp/news-upda…

@xu_dong_sun is a phenomenal mentor & researcher! During my time at @IllinoisCDS, every conversation with him was not just technically insightful but also left me with valuable lessons on how to better deal with the uncertainties of research. Wishing you the best, Xudong!
