@sainingxie 一起挑战7小时播客!他刚和Yann LeCun踏上“世界模型”的创业旅程(AMI Labs)。这是他第一次Podcast、第一次访谈。 2026年2月雪后的一天,我们在纽约布鲁克林,从下午2点,开启了一场始料未及的马拉松式访谈,直到凌晨时分散去。 这篇访谈的中文标题叫做《逃出硅谷》,但他又不厌其烦地枚举了影响他学术生涯的每一个人,并反反复复口头描摹这些人的人物特征(侯晓迪、何恺明、杨立昆、李飞飞…)正是这些,让这篇“逃出硅谷”的对话充斥着人性的温度。 By the way, 下面是访谈的YouTube版本,我们提供了中英字幕。 And yes, 我们是在用播客给这个世界建模😎 A 7-hour podcast with Saining Xie. He has just begun a new journey on world models with Yann LeCun at AMI Labs. This was his first podcast appearance and his first long-form interview. A day after the snowfall in February 2026, in Brooklyn, New York, we started recording at 2 p.m. What followed became an unexpected marathon conversation that lasted until the early hours of the morning. The Chinese title of the interview is “Escaping Silicon Valley.” Yet throughout the conversation, he patiently listed the people who shaped his academic life, repeatedly sketching their personalities in vivid detail: Hou Xiaodi, Kaiming He, Yann LeCun, Fei-Fei Li, and others. These portraits are what give this “escape from Silicon Valley” conversation its human warmth. By the way, the YouTube version of the interview is below, with Chinese and English subtitles. And yes, we are using podcasts to model the world 😎 A 7-hour marathon interview with Saining Xie: World Models, AMI Labs, Ya... youtu.be/rIwgZWzUKm8?si… 来自 @YouTube

Probably not be able to attend NeurIPS 2025 in person, but my collaborator Prof. Yu Yin @YuYin_vulab will be presenting our paper “Praxis-VLM: Vision-Grounded Decision Making via Text-Driven Reinforcement Learning” at Exhibit Hall C,D,E #1500, Thu Dec 4, 11 am–2 pm PST in San Diego. In this work, we propose a data-efficient approach that uses purely textual synthetic training data to significantly improve VLMs’ reasoning and decision-making in multimodal scenarios. Please stop by and chat! 🚀📚

Imagine VLMs learning complex decision-making purely from text! 🤯 Our new paper introduces #PraxisVLM, which uses text-driven #ReinforcementLearning to instill robust reasoning skills. These text-acquired skills transfer to multimodal settings, achieving superior performance & generalizability, drastically reducing reliance on scarce image-text data. 🚀 📑Paper: arxiv.org/pdf/2503.16965 👨‍💻Code: github.com/Derekkk/Praxis… #EmbodiedAI #MultiModal #NLP #VLMs #RL

Life Update: I will join @UTiSchool as an Assistant Professor in Fall 2026 and will continue my work on LLM, HCI, and Computational Social Science. I'm building a new lab on Human-Centered AI Systems and will be hiring PhD students in the coming cycle!

@WenhuChen agree. ML is based on probability and optimization. I still remember when I took ML course during masters' study we are recommended to read books like PRML and ESL while nowadays everyone is just focusing on deep neural nets.

I honestly think the undergrads should spend more time on understanding the foundamentals of math and science instead of chasing all these AI hypes. Knowing how Vicuna differs from Alpaca probably won't matter much in a year, but knowing how to do SVD will always help you ...

Mathematics is the art of giving the same name to different things(Henri Poincaré). Machine learning is the art of giving different names to the same thing.

@Fight_PP10043 @SpokespersonCHN PP10043 is very flat, across-the-board and unfair to all innocent students and researchers. Please stop PP10043

@SpokespersonCHN P.P.10043 is totally unreasonable. It destroys the academic dreams of hundreds of scholars and students; it damages the academic integrity of U.S. universities; it is blatant discrimination to innocent students. WE MUST STOP IT.

Over 500 Chinese #students' visa applications were denied by the US. Is this what the #US called freedom and openness? Is this the positive steps of the US to promote people-to-people exchanges?

@SpokespersonCHN We are innocent students who wish to achieve our academic dream. PP10043 is unfair and flat to all students just because we studied at certain institutions (many of those students just did their undergrad study and never got involved into any research projects).

Unfortunately softconf is still down. Due to this issue, to avoid any further stress and be fair to everyone we decided to extend the ACL-IJCNLP deadline by 1 full day (i.e. February 2nd 11:59PM UTC-12 ("anywhere on Earth")) #ACL2021NLP #NLProc @aclmeeting

@CNyren @NAChristakis I take full responsibility for my words. The Taiwan local authority refused the following flight after the first and only flight. Because they found one infected.

If we want to understand how powerful an opponent SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) is, let’s take a look what has been required to stop it in China. The Chinese government has essentially used a social nuclear weapon in its efforts. Let’s talk about this, to understand what US is facing. 1/
