Copying → morphology/translation → basic arithmetic → complex reasoning & math. Across every model family we tested, LLMs acquire skills in roughly the same order during pretraining. Can we use this to predict what a model will learn next, just from its internals? 🧵

Excited to be heading to #ICML2026 to present 3 papers! ✈️ Happy to talk about developmental LM science, continual learning, or LM creativity! See more details below, and send me a message via email if you'd like to chat! (Twitter chat isn't working for me). Also excited for

Hallucination is one of the most longstanding and important problems with language models. What if we aren't making progress because we aren't viewing it in a unified way? New paper with @DegenAI_Labs to appear at #ICML2026 next week! Drop by our poster to talk about

We keep saying LLMs "hallucinate." But what does that actually mean? In our new position paper, we argue hallucination isn't just "wrong facts." It's inaccurate internal world modeling. We formalize this precisely in a unified definition to appear at #ICML2026 (@icmlconf)👇

wrote a guide on getting compute grants as a student, something I wish I did more at the beginning of my PhD. It's honestly one of the highest ROI things you can do as a student (we've gotten 100k+ gpu hrs for roughly 2 weeks of work writing). nightingal3.github.io/blog/2026/04/1…
