SEMMA (transliteration of செம்ம - meaning awesome), my first PhD work, is accepted to #EMNLP2025 Main! I also found out today that SEMMA has the (tied) highest average reviewer score in this ARR cycle 💪 📜: arxiv.org/abs/2505.20422

Pretty happy with how my predictions are holding up. 5/6 was the gold medal threshold this year. OAI's "experimental reasoning LLM" got that exactly, failing only to solve the one hard combinatorics problem, P6. My advice remains: look beyond the medal. Brief thread. 1/

Meanwhile, @Kimi_Moonshot has actually cooked with K2. Even without extended reasoning, it is on par with frontier models like Grok-4 on GPQA free-form. Massive congrats to them.

Very cool result. In hindsight, this shouldn't be too surprising to anyone who has ever taken a multiple choice exam. Eg if you have a trigonometry problem and the possible solutions are A: 1 B: 3.7 C: -5 D: pi/2 which would you pick (with no knowledge of the question)?

TIL half of SWE-Bench-Verified is fixing issues in a single repository. We really need to be careful with how we name benchmarks, and be explicit about which capabilities they test. Fix-issues-in-the-Django-repo-Bench doesnt have the same ring to it, and thats the point.

A great example of scientific discourse at its best—thoughtful, constructive, and conclusive. We now have more rigorous evidence that confidence maximization improves reasoning. 👇

1/ Maximizing confidence indeed improves reasoning. We worked with @ShashwatGoel7, @nikhilchandak29 @AmyPrb for the past 3 weeks (over a zoom call and many emails!) and revised our evaluations to align with their suggested prompts/parsers/sampling params. This includes changing…

Forecasting future events is a fascinating task for language models. Arguably the hardest application for a pure "oracle" that can't take actions; requiring reasoning about conflicting info, planning, information seeking... But, forecasting is also uniquely hard to evaluate:
