Scaling Language Models with Infinite Compute via Ensemble Distillation
By
–
As data and compute scales differently, what do we do when we have infinite compute? To answer this, this paper shows you can still scale LMs by cranking up regularization, training many small clones on the same corpus, then ensemble → distill, netting 5x data-efficiency

LangChain Rewrites DeepAgents Package for v1 Release
By
–
We rewrote our deepagents package on top of the upcoming LangChain v1 release! Deepagents excel at agentic tasks by leveraging their planning, filesystem, and sub-task capabilities. We built these features with LangChain middleware (new in LangChain 1.0!), and as a result,

A2D-VL Diffusion Model Outperforms VLMs with Efficient Training
By
–
A2D-VL outperforms prior diffusion VLMs in visual question-answering while requiring significantly less training compute. Our novel adaptation techniques are critical for retaining model capabilities, finally enabling the conversion of state-of-the-art autoregressive VLMs to
