Patchscopes: Framework for Explaining LLM Internal Representations
By
–
8/ Patchscopes – proposes a framework that leverages a model itself to explain its internal representations; it can be used to answer questions about an LLM’s computation and can even be used to fix latent multi-hop reasoning errors.

ReFT: Enhancing LLM Reasoning Through Reinforced Fine-Tuning
By
–
6/ Reasoning with Reinforced Fine-Tuning – an approach, ReFT, to enhance the generalizability of LLMs for reasoning; it starts with applying SFT and then applies online RL for further refinement while automatically sampling reasoning paths to learn from.

Proxy-Tuning: Efficient Language Model Adaptation at Decoding
By
–
5/ Tuning Language Models by Proxy – introduces proxy-tuning, a decoding-time algorithm that modifies logits of a target LLM with the logits’ difference between a small base model and a fine-tuned base model.

Self-Rewarding Models: LLM Self-Alignment Training Method
By
–
4/ Self-Rewarding Models – proposes a self-alignment method that uses the model itself for LLM-as-a-Judge prompting to provide its rewards during training; Iterative DPO is used for instruction following training using the preference pairs.

Leakers Disappointment and Expected GPT 4.5 Release
By
–
Honestly, been disappointed with all the so called leakers lately (besides Jimmy). Still, when Gemini Ultra is released next week and trys to take the crown of best AI, OAI is in the need to release something better. So, I assume GPT 4.5 out of necessity soon
