@iclr_conf paper alert! The de facto way to align a model through tuning-based methods like DPO is powerful, yet expensive and prone to jailbreaking. Emerging work on model editing aims to address this, and yet the two approaches are largely siloed. Can we somehow connect them?🧐

Spent last night watching #icml talks virtually, mildly devastated I wasn’t in Seoul. Logged off, randomly remembered #KISSOFLIFE, and watched their Igloo performance video before bed. Then I wake up to this. Am I psychic, or is the FOMO just that strong?

@icmlconf gave me a Gold Reviewer Award, which means my most successful contribution to ML this year may have been telling other people their contributions needed clearer baselines. An unexpectedly nice reward for spending quality time with appendices.

We’re starting to map circuits for reasoning traces but still lack tools to track when features recombine off-distribution. Many real failures aren’t single features but interactions across representations. Interpretability needs to target these systematically, not just localize.
