Few-shot flow models consider immediate match between shortcut and teacher model; akin to immediate reward in RL. We propose to use cumulative reward from future. Our work, with

What if AI isn’t about building solo geniuses, but designing social systems?
Michael Jordan advocates blending ML, economics, and uncertainty management to prioritize social welfare over mere prediction.
A must-read rethink.

Key to research success: ambition in vision, but pragmatism in execution. You must be guided by a long-term, ambitious goal that addresses a fundamental problem, rather than chasing incremental gains on established benchmarks. Yet, your progress should be grounded by tractable
Anyone who has read the original paper would appreciate this one. The original paper didn’t think too deeply what they wanted to say and what the take home message was.
bro sh*t just got so real. Claude Opus published a response paper to Apple’s paper, criticizing their experiment design, putting models under token limit constraints, and having them solve unsolvable problems.
