4 takeaways from conversations with some very sharp minds during my recent visit to Cambridge & University of Edinburgh 🇬🇧 A short thread👇 1. Strong consensus: classic LLM tasks in standard setups (QA, summarization, etc.) are seen as sovled and are not interesting anymore.

I'll be visiting the UK at the end of January (26–29 London, 29–30 Edinburgh) and giving a talk in @frank_e_keller 's group on the 30th. If you’re into multimodality, interactive learning, or language games and will be around- ping me!
