We (Moritz Hardt, @walesalaudeen96,@joavanschoren) are organizing the Workshop on the Science of Benchmarking & Evaluating AI @EurIPSConf 2025 in Copenhagen! 📢 Call for Posters: rb.gy/kyid4f 📅 Deadline: Oct 10, 2025 (AoE) 🔗 More Info: rebrand.ly/bg931sf
My PhD advisor, Moritz Hardt, has just released the first half of his new book, The Emerging Science of Machine Learning Benchmarks. It’s freely available and highly recommended: mlbenchmarks.org
New preprint out! 🎉🎉 How does LLM training loss translate to downstream performance? We show that pretraining data and tokenizer shape loss-to-loss scaling laws, while architecture and other factors play a surprisingly minor role! brendel-group.github.io/llm-line/ 🧵1/8
“Aha moments” can be observed at step 0, so we should not fixate on reporting individual instances. Instead, we should seek reliable measures of internal reasoning that can be tracked throughout training. So far, response length appears to be one such (imperfect) measure.
One important caveat is that I cannot get the response length to dramatically increase as in the R1 paper.

R1-style GRPO on Llama 3.2 1B Instruct yields +10 accuracy points on GSM8K. It just works! The train data is GSM8K train. Interestingly, supervised fine-tuning yields no performance improvements, since the dataset is tiny compared to all the math reasoning data seen by Llama 3.
Really cool paper questioning all the 'incredible' progress we've seen recently: "after fine-tuning all models on the same amount of task data, performance per pre-training compute equalizes and newer models are no better than earlier models."
