The opportunity gap in AI is more striking than ever. We talk way too much about those receiving $100M or whatever for their jobs, but not enough those asking for <$1k to present their work. For 3rd year in a row, @ml_collective is raising funds to support @DeepIndaba attendees.

i was diagnosed with thyroid cancer many years ago purely by chance, because i had to get blood work for my US green card application (thank you, USCIS!). i was in my mid-30’s and was reasonably healthy (or so i believed.) this was shocking and totally unpredictable news to me. thanks to the amazing team of clinicians at NYU Langone, i successfully went through a total thyroidectomy followed by radioactive iodine therapy. but, it was truly the most uncertain and confusing period of my life. this is when i first realized that no one can opt out of healthcare. being sick isn’t what you choose to or choose not to. it is something that unpredictably happens to all of us at some point for one reason or another. this is why it is a healthcare system that we collectively build and use to support each other at the society level. because it must support everyone, the complexity of creating, maintaining and improving this system is a Herculean effort that calls for all the help in the world. today, i am announcing @OrtetAI together with my dear co-founders, @keunwoochoi, @HenriDwyer, @elmanmansimov, @causalclaudia and Jeff, to lend our support to improving the health of each and every one of us. Ortet’s goal is to create a technological foundation that will enable health systems to deliver predictably better care to each and every patient. this will only be possible by working closely with all stakeholders in the broader ecosystem, which is enabled in part by Ortet’s close partnership with Thoreau. Ortet is taking the very first step of a long journey ahead, and at the end of this journey, i strongly believe we would be able to say that Ortet had contributed to building better, more predictable healthcare and thus to improving health of each and every one of us. see ortet.ai/ for more!

Stop blowing up Looped Transformers — it's not magical, it doesn't add recurrence to the (still and always) feedforward network, it was done years ago (Dehghani et al., 2019). All it does is making your model deeper, the same as if you added more layers to begin with.

However many loops you do, the transformer is still inherently feedforward, the only "recurrence" added here is "depth recurrence", which is the same as making the model deeper (with tied parameters). The only real "recurrence" is if you carry things *forward in time*.

We talked about this extensively in "The Topological Trouble With Transformers" (arxiv: 2604.17121) and in "Recirculation" (arxiv: 2608.17981)

For me, a fun entry-point into this paper is just to observe: The transformer is a silly architecture for token generation. During inference, transformers operate with their hands tied behind their back. They do this because it makes training cheaper.
What if a foundation model could tell us how to modify its architecture to boost inference and reasoning instantaneously—without retraining? What if that tweak incurred near zero latency cost during generation and supported indefinite state tracking? arxiv.org/abs/2608.17981

💥I have been able to independently verify @mc_mozer and Google team's work on ♾ Recirculation👀 using Llama 3.2 1B model on a M4 MacBook. 😱 +16.95% improvement on GSM8K-Platnium with zero weight changes. Reproduction code with optimized mlx prefill kernel. 👇
Replying to @mc_mozer
We introduce an inference-time recurrence mechanism that allows off-the-shelf, frozen LLMs to act as dynamical systems. By leaking deep representations back to shallow layers, we see bonkers gains—23% ⬇️ in perplexity, 21% ⬆️ rel. accuracy in GSM8k— w/o touching model weights.

100%! The title we secretly want to publish it under is "Recirculation. OR: CoT is a cop out."
Replying to @mc_mozer
Interesting distinction from chain-of-thought. CoT is the default for reasoning gains, but state tracking feels more fundamental. If feedforward depth limits state updates, inference-time recurrence is a natural fix.

18 years into paper publishing and I still sheepishly search for our new paper title to see if it's gotten picked up in the gap between arxiv posted and twitter announced

Exciting news 🥳 I will be joining Google DeepMind in SF as a Student Researcher this fall, working on visual reasoning in vision-language models. Thank you, @savvyRL, for hosting me, and @anh_ng8 for the years of guidance that got me here. 🙏

Classic tech bro being tech bro. Recruits from academia, builds on academia's innovation, outbids academia for every GPU on earth, publishes nothing peer-reviewed, gives back pennies, then declares academia "mainly fraud." That's pulling up the ladder and spitting down it.
PSA: Most biglab people now read almost zero papers and understand ICLR/ICML/NeurIPS to be mainly full of overclaims & fraud. (but there are a few diamonds in the rough of course)
