[1/7] Why do frontier LLMs make factual errors? Is it because they never learned the fact… or because they can’t access knowledge they already encoded? In our new paper, we show: The bottleneck is not encoding; it is recall. 🧵👇 Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2602.14080 Many thanks to

If you care about knowledge in LLMs, and why parametric knowledge remains a fundamentally important research problem, you should read Gal’s tweet 🤯

.@NitCal will be presenting "Empty Shelves or Lost Keys? Recall Is the Bottleneck for Parametric Factuality" at ICML 2026 next month. (tl;dr: we show encoding is near-saturated on frontier LLMs, but models still struggle to recall encoded facts.) One recurring piece of

Our paper got accepted to @icmlconf! 🥳🥳 I also want to say a few warm words about the reviewers and AC. Maybe because our paper was under Policy A (LLM use is prohibited), but the review process felt unusually professional and refreshing, almost like a reminder of pre-2024
