CAKE: Context-Aware Kernel Evolution for Bayesian Optimization
By
–
Is your Bayesian Optimization slow to converge? You might be using the wrong recipe! This NeurIPS 2025 paper introduces CAKE , Context-Aware Kernel Evolution, a freshly baked method that uses Large Language Models (LLMs) as genetic operators to adaptively evolve the perfect

New Book Builds on LLM from Scratch with Reasoning Techniques
By
–
Yes! It basically picks up where the LLM from Scratch left of. I.e., we start with a pre-training LLM and then implement and add reasoning techniques.
(However, it can also be read as a standalone book) -

Learning Bits Through RL and SFT: Research Insights
By
–
best paper or blog i've read in a while, highly recommend! John is brilliant and his research sets an example for the rest of us. recently i too have been thinking deeply about how many bits might be learned via one step of RL or SFT.. if you're thinking about this too, lmk!

IIUC they didn't use DoRA, so the results can be even better than shown here:

Weight decay ineffective for value-based reinforcement learning

No, I haven’t seen any reliable wins from weight decay for value based RL, and I haven’t looked several times.
