Why Cross-Domain Reasoning Matters in Large Language Models (LLMs) Recent breakthroughs in LRMs, especially those trained using Long CoT techniques, show they can generalize impressively across different domains. Interestingly, models trained on tasks such as math or coding often perform well in unrelated areas, like logical puzzles or creative writing. However, what enables this flexibility…
Understanding the Limitations of Current Omni-Modal Architectures Large multimodal models (LMMs) have shown outstanding omni-capabilities across text, vision, and speech modalities, creating vast potential for diverse applications. While vision-oriented LMMs have shown success, omni-modal LMMs that support speech interaction based on visual information face challenges due to the intrinsic representational discrepancies across modalities. Recent omni-modal…
Sakana AI introduces a novel framework for reasoning language models (LLMs) with a focus on efficiency and reusability: Reinforcement-Learned Teachers (RLTs). Traditional reinforcement learning (RL) approaches in LLMs are plagued by sparse reward signals and prohibitively high computational demands. By contrast, RLTs redefine the teacher-student paradigm by training smaller models to act as optimized instructors,…
The DeepSeek Researchers just released a super cool personal project named ‘nano-vLLM‘, a minimalistic and efficient implementation of the vLLM (virtual Large Language Model) engine, designed specifically for users who value simplicity, speed, and transparency. Built entirely from scratch in Python, nano-vLLM distills the essence of high-performance inference pipelines into a concise, readable codebase of…
Challenges in Simulating High-Speed Flows with Neural Solvers Modeling high-speed fluid flows, such as those in supersonic or hypersonic regimes, poses unique challenges due to the rapid changes associated with shock waves and expansion fans. Unlike low-speed flows, where fixed time steps work well, these fast-moving flows require adaptive time stepping to capture small-scale dynamics…
The debate around the reasoning capabilities of Large Reasoning Models (LRMs) has been recently invigorated by two prominent yet conflicting papers: Apple’s “Illusion of Thinking” and Anthropic’s rebuttal titled “The Illusion of the Illusion of Thinking”. Apple’s paper claims fundamental limits in LRMs’ reasoning abilities, while Anthropic argues these claims stem from evaluation shortcomings rather…
With the frequent release of new large language models (LLMs), there is a persistent quest to minimize repetitive errors, enhance robustness, and significantly improve user interactions.

Mistral AI has released Mistral Small…
Multimodal LLMs: Expanding Capabilities Across Text and Vision Expanding large language models (LLMs) to handle multiple modalities, particularly images and text, has enabled the development of more interactive and intuitive AI systems. Multimodal LLMs (MLLMs) can interpret visuals, answer questions about images, and engage in dialogues that include both text and pictures. Their ability to…
Introduction: Understanding Generalization in Deep Generative Models Deep generative models, including diffusion and flow matching, have shown outstanding performance in synthesizing realistic multi-modal content across images, audio, video, and text. However, the generalization capabilities and underlying mechanisms of these models are challenging in deep generative modeling. The core challenge includes understanding whether generative models truly…
Language modeling plays a foundational role in natural language processing, enabling machines to predict and generate text that resembles human language. These models have evolved significantly, beginning with statistical methods and progressing through neural architectures to today’s large-scale transformer-based systems. At the center of many applications, such as chatbots, translation tools, and text completion engines,…
