More data ā better fine-tuning. Sometimes the 'undertrained' model is more useful because it's still plastic. We need to map the capability vs. adaptability frontier better.
first i thought scaling laws originated in OpenAI (2020)
then i thought they came from Baidu (2017)
now i am enlightened:
Scaling Laws were first explored at Bell Labs (1993)
āRubricsā have become a buzzword in AI, but the concept predates the hype. At @SnorkelAI, weāre excited to share a fun primer on what rubricābased evaluation isāand why itās critical for todayās generative and agentic models.
LLM judges are powerful for automated evaluation but expensive and biased.š£ Meet PAJAMA, a new framework that distills LLM judging logic into a compact, executable form (a new representation), cutting costs from thousands to just cents.š We'll present at ICML PRAL on Friday!
Next up this morning at #ICML2025, we will be presenting our work on pseudolabeling-based semi-supervised learning (SSL).

Join us today in the morning poster session at #ICML2025.
We will talk about some neat ways for reducing uncertainty and improving LLM accuracy at test-time on multi-choice tasks (e.g., tool selection) using conformal prediction and an additional inference round.
