How to build AI scaling laws for efficient LLM training and budget maximization

When researchers are building large language models (LLMs), they aim to maximize performance under a particular computational and financial budget. Since training a model can amount to millions of dollars, developers need to be judicious with cost-impacting decisions about, for instance, the model architecture, optimizers, and training datasets before committing to a model. To anticipate…

LLMs easily exploited using run-on sentences, bad grammar, image scaling

A series of vulnerabilities recently revealed by several research labs indicate that, despite rigorous training, high benchmark scoring, and claims that artificial general intelligence (AGI) is right around the corner, large language models (LLMs) are still quite naïve and easily confused in situations where human common sense and healthy suspicion would typically prevail. For example,…

Scaling Up Reinforcement Learning for Traffic Smoothing: A 100-AV Highway Deployment

Scaling Up Reinforcement Learning for Traffic Smoothing: A 100-AV Highway Deployment

Training Diffusion Models with Reinforcement Learning We deployed 100 reinforcement learning (RL)-controlled cars into rush-hour highway traffic to smooth congestion and reduce fuel consumption for everyone. Our goal is to tackle “stop-and-go” waves, those frustrating slowdowns and speedups that usually have no clear cause but lead to congestion and significant energy waste. To train efficient…

This AI Paper Explores Reinforced Learning and Process Reward Models: Advancing LLM Reasoning with Scalable Data and Test-Time Scaling

Scaling the size of large language models (LLMs) and their training data have now opened up emergent capabilities that allow these models to perform highly structured reasoning, logical deductions, and abstract thought. These are not incremental improvements over previous tools but mark the journey toward reaching Artificial general intelligence (AGI). Training LLMs to reason well…
