Are you interested in Open-Endedness and AI for Science? 🧪 I'm hiring a Student Researcher at Google DeepMind for a 6-month role. Join us to work on building agents capable of novel scientific discoveries! 🔬 Reach out if this sounds like you, and apply here 👇 docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

🚀Introducing “StochasTok: Improving Fine-Grained Subword Understanding in LLMs”!🚀 LLMs are incredible but still struggle disproportionately with subword tasks, e.g., for character counts, wordplay, multi-digit numbers, fixing typos… Enter StochasTok, led by Anya Sims! [1/]

It was an honor to be on Quirks and Quarks (the CBC science show) with @cong-ml.bsky.social talking about The AI Scientist and the impact of AI on science. Science is being transformed by the AI revolution cbc.ca/listen/live-...

Introducing Automated Capability Discovery! ACD automatically identifies surprising new capabilities and failure modes in foundation models, via "self-exploration" (models exploring their own abilities). Led by @cong-ml.bsky.social & @shengranhu.bsky.social 🔬🤖🧠🔎 [1/9]

It's an honor that The AI Scientist is #1 on this list! www.linkedin.com/feed/update/... Congrats @chris-lu.bsky.social @cong-ml.bsky.social @RobertTLange @hardmaru.bsky.social @jfoerst.bsky.social

Lots of interest in ADAS! Thanks everyone, and congrats Shengran Hu and @cong-ml.bsky.social! 🚀🚀🚀

Honored to receive this award for ADAS!!

Our in-progress work Quality-Diversity Self-Play (w/ @cong-ml.bsky.social and @jeffclune.com) will have a poster presentation at #NeurIPS2024 workshops (@IMOLNeurIPS2024 Sunday West meeting room 217 - 219 and OpenworldAgents Sunday East Meeting Room 1-3, Foyer). Please come visit us!

Our work Automated Design of Agentic Systems (w/ Shengran Hu & @cong-ml.bsky.social) will have ✨two orals✨ @ #NeurIPS2024 workshops (LanGame Sat 10:20, OWA Sun 4:50). Please come visit us😃 We would also love to chat about open-endedness, LLM agents, etc. Come by if you want to meet!

A great new essay on AI for Science from our colleagues here: deepmind.google/public-polic...

The RL (and some non-RL folks) starter pack is almost full. Pretty clear that the academic move here has succeeded go.bsky.app/3WPHcHg

Now that @jeffclune.bsky.social and @joelbot3000.bsky.social are here, time for an Open-Endedness starter pack. go.bsky.app/MdVxrtD
