Distillation has been on the news (!) due to @deepseek_ai
. The paper https://
arxiv.org/abs/1503.02531 was actually rejected from NeurIPS 2014 due to lack of novelty (true-ish), and lack of impact . Thanks reviewer#2 (literally), and thanks for @arxiv
! @geoffreyhinton @JeffDean

Thinking Models Predict Future Outcomes With Inference Accuracy
By
–
As it's a thinking model you can see why it concludes certain things (e.g. that I would go to industry vs academia), and the inferences are spot on. But then it actually verifies what happened as indeed, it "knows" the future.

AI Predicts Career Path and Evaluates Academic Thesis
By

Quite funny to ask it to predict my future career (pretty accurately I must say!), or to roast the thesis (Q_Q).

PhD Thesis Evaluated by Flash Thinking Model for Theoretical Gaps
By
–
I uploaded my PhD thesis (98K tokens) and asked our latest Flash thinking model to find flaws in it. "Potential over-reliance on empirical results without sufficient theoretical grounding." A Deep Learning thesis, indeed.

Very saddened by this. I was lucky to interact with Felix at DeepMind and his creative thinking was clearly ahead of his time. Our last work together: one of the very first Visual Language Models: https://

Curriculum Learning: Progressive Neural Network Training Strategy
By
–
We didn't investigate this very intensely but my intuition is that this acted like a curriculum, so that you could learn the "short" connections first, and start going backwards. C' B' A' A B C (learning A' to A translation is simple as there aren't many layers in between).
