@chrmanning @iclr_conf We initially requested a much bigger room for the workshop. Unfortunately, we got assigned a quite small one and changing room was not possible

Learning about World Models, Understanding, Modeling and Scaling at @iclr_conf this morning proved not quite realistic! Shouldn’t the organizers have guessed this would be pretty popular in 2025?

@harvie_zhang @SchmidhuberAI @oneDylanAshley Hi! We connect hidden layers to the final loss only when the layer index exceeds the number of planning steps. Note that there are works from the 90s, if not earlier, that connect all hidden layers to the final loss in RNNs (e.g., character-level predictions for language tasks)
